Mobilités migratoires marocaines, sociabilités et échanges marchands

Moroccan migratory mobilities : Sociabilities and Merchant exchanges. Catherine GAUTHIER Mobility of Moroccan migrants who use Spanish roads to travel back and forth from Morocco to the various European regions of seulement points out spatial continuities and social proximities on both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. By travelling across the country and mainly by making stops, migrants apply the map of their own stakes and strategies to the local geography. This map can be visualized when observing the trade exchanges between migrants in transit and residents that occur in the meantime. Among those residents, there are natives, Spanish ones above and Moroccan ones below, but also Moroccans who never went any further into their migration and other migrants who are new inhabitants of a changing Spain. The temporality of this movement as well as that of the residents can meet or d if fer. This explains the so many different ways that lead to an encounter or not. Important places of exchanges do not always coincide with large urban sites nor with a substantial concentration of fellow countrymen. In some places, which at first look insignificant but which are actually full of emotional, symbolical or cultural meaning, one single person can give birth to a convergence of migratory routes. Analysing the historical depth of those regions and of the urban shapes on which mobility is based, as well as their different strata, thus enables to understand their sociological impact
