Resumen
The issue of the circularity of migrants has been analyzed as a key aspect of the complexity of global migration. Since the 1990s the post-Fordist model has encouraged us to consider different approaches to European international migration. In the 1990s, authors such as Tarrius indicated the importance of the post-Fordist model and the emergence of circularity trends amongst Moroccans in Southern Europe. In particular he addressed territories located in Catalonia, Spain or in the South of France, in cities such as Perpignan and Marseille. This study will focus on how Moroccan migration became one of the most representative communities in this new model. It will consider the type of circularities in existence, regarding simultaneously the origin and destination of migrants, the different European locations and their insertion in intra-European borders. This chapter delves into the theoretical problems surrounding such circulations. Such problems explored through ethnography of circulation dynamics, and going more deeply into three ethnographic moments: Tangiers as a border-city, migrations from the Jebala Mountains and the insertion of Moroccan in intra-European border areas.
