  • Chapter
  • 594 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter addresses the theme of cultural diversity and the relationship between Muslim diaspora in Europe and their countries of origin and destination, an important dimension of identity issues that have been recently raised. I will attempt to go beyond the quantitative research already undertaken on Moroccan diaspora, which focuses on material phenomena. My analysis is geared to the cultural and emotional ramifications of Moroccan Muslim diaspora in Europe.
