DESCRIPTION:Drawing on research in Morocco and the North African diaspora 
 in France\, the paper explores various ways in which globality is lived in
  the Maghreb and beyond. It re-examines tropes of "crossroads"\, "borderla
 nds"\, and "frontiers" that have been variously proposed to encapsulate th
 e Maghreb's connectivity to the Mashreq\, Europe\, and sub-Saharan Africa\
 , tracing the ways these categories have alternately privileged and erased
  the region's particular socioeconomic and cultural complexity. By focusin
 g on how various North African subjects (Berbers\, "Beurs\," harraga\, etc
 .) have cognitively mapped and performatively realized their global positi
 oning\, the paper models a shift in ethnographic area studies focus to mob
 ility rather than identity\, to the histories of exchange of people\, good
 s\, and ideas across repeatedly shifting borders.\n\nRegister "here":https
