Liminality in the Daily Life of Migrants from the Southern Sahara: The Case of Guinea Conakry Migrants

Abstract

This article examines the daily life of Guinean migrants who are preoccupied with the intersection of daily living and the strategies and ways to resist their situation. The study adopts a qualitative and phenomenological approach, while evoking other structural dimensions that structure the behaviour of migrants. The research demonstrates that Guinean migrants live in a state of liminality due to their social invisibility in Moroccan society for an unpredictable period. In this state, migrants lose their identity and any kind of defined social status while not acquiring a new status that ends with integration.
