Ahmed Jemaa is a Ph.D. researcher at the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies (IMIS) at the University of Osnabrück.

The article is part of the special Issue: ‘In Transit: Mapping Digital and Transnational Narratives across Tunisian Borderlands’ emerging from a cross-Mediterranean scholarly collaboration between the University of Westminster and Tunis El Manar.

Focusing on Tunisia as a key site for examining contemporary migration, the Special Issue traces the country’s shifting role from a ‘palimpsest of historical crossings’ to a space of mobility containment under the European Union’s externalized border regime.
