Description
Sami\'s work focuses on the similarities and differences in experience between French Jewish and Muslim descendants of North Africans in greater Paris. He is currently writing a monograph on what he calls \"Maghrebinicité\" a neologism that fuses together the historical-racial Maghreb and the spatial-political Cité, both dimensions of Parisian Jewish identification to North Africa. Sami has undertaken multi-sited ethnographic and historical research in Algiers, Casablanca, Jerusalem, and Paris to this end. In the UK he is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Southampton and in Marseille he is also a Senior Research Fellow at the IMéRA Advanced School Aix-Marseille Université.
