Abstract	"Migration flows from south to north are slowly transforming our mental maps. For instance, we are learning to consider Europe and the Maghreb countries, or Turkey, as a part of one and the same transnational region. While most people are located somewhere within the class structure of their own country and of the region as a whole, migrants are the only ones who are defined by their movement across this transnational space. This alone should push us to reconsider the assumption, which is taken for granted, that they are much more traditional than we are. In fact, even after settling, they keep moving culturally as soon as they realise that if they do not so their children will not be able to adapt. Gender relations for instance change continuously within these families, not only between wife and husband, mother and father, but also between sister and brother as well. The transnational migratory move or series of moves, had one primary goal: to move upward in terms of income, material goods, healthcare and getting the right to stay which entails also the right of circulating in transnational spaces. For most of them, however, their upward move is checked by a sort of glass ceiling which is very low. Their dearest wish is that their children continue the mobility, but this time in terms of upward occupational and social mobility. As their parents have been deprived of economic resources, education or a network of useful connections, one way they can boost their child's career at school or in the maze of labour market for a first job is then to try and equip them with moral resources and life skills; in short with subjective resources which will help them to perform better in social games."
