| 要約: | In the aftermath of the 2011 revolutions and protests across North Africa and the Middle East, Morocco has witnessed unprecedented public debates on “anti-black racism” (in French, le racisme anti-Noir) against sub-Saharan Africans and its connections with the history of slavery. By including in the discussion the voices of sub-Saharan African migrants living in marginalized neighbourhoods of Rabat, this paper complicates any linear causality between historical slavery and current racism. It shows how the history of slavery interweaves with colonial racial legacies and hegemonic whiteness, contemporary EurAfrican border regimes and labour exploitation, which all push vulnerable migrants further onto the margins of society. Highlighting the racialized dimensions of the transcontinental management of migration and the ways blackness is racialized through border(ing), this paper conceives of racism in Morocco as a multi-faceted and historically situated phenomenon that requires careful contextualization along multiple histories and lines of difference. |
