The North African diasporas and construction of Europe Gildas SIMON The ter m « diaspora » evokes both the idea of dispersal and the idea of solidarity between immigrants, or, in other words, their continued attachment to their country of origin. The case of North Africans in Western Europe illustrates the role of these new « diasporas ». Their role is vital, though as yet unrecognised, and consists in furthering the development of relations between the host country and their country of origin. However, in the immediate future, a problem will become apparent in the EEC, as there will undoubtedly be repurcussions for immigrants from outside of the EEC when the principle of free movement between member countries comes into force in 1993.
