The post-1948 mass migration of Jews from Arab Muslim countries to Israel is widely seen by scholars as a direct result of decolonization and rising nationalism across the Middle East and North Africa, coupled with the emigration and immigration policies of regional powers. In this article I draw on local histories of northern Morocco to critique the existing literature. I apply new methods to reconceptualize that migratory experience as shaped by social and cultural processes, albeit ones that interacted with nationalist state policies. I provide a multilayered macro- and microanalysis of the process of Jewish emigration from northern Morocco and point to the transregional, interpersonal, communal, and institutional networks that jointly shaped the dynamic character and pace of migration to Israel (and to Europe and the Americas) among local Jews.

超越民族国家：从摩洛哥北部到以色列的犹太人移民网络分析

学者们普遍认为，1948 年后犹太人从阿拉伯穆斯林国家大规模迁移到以色列是中东和北非非殖民化和民族主义抬头的直接结果，再加上地区大国的移民政策。在本文中，我利用摩洛哥北部的当地历史来批判现有文献。我应用新方法重新定义由社会和文化过程塑造的移民经历，尽管这些经历与民族主义国家政策相互作用。我对摩洛哥北部的犹太人移民过程进行了多层次的宏观和微观分析，并指出了跨区域、人际、社区和机构网络，这些网络共同塑造了移民到以色列（以及欧洲和美洲）的动态特征和速度在当地犹太人中。
