Ana Bent Bladi : How Transnational Women of Moroccan Origins Negotiate Identity in an Era of Globalization

• In Event: Negotiating Identity and Agency in Postcolonial Contexts and Migrations

Abstract

In a globalized world where countries we all share have become more heterogeneous, it is important to address issues of how women with Muslim origins negotiate their identities in transnational spaces. Based on interviews with seven women conducted in both the U.S. and Morocco, this paper explores how transnational women of Moroccan origins that either migrated to Westernized countries or migrated back to Morocco from the first world negotiate their identities in transnational spaces.
