The book is a deep dive into the history of Moroccan migration to Belgium. Particularly following the signing in 1964 of the bilateral Moroccan-Belgian agreement to send Moroccan workers to Belgium, under which they emigrated to work in the country's industrial sectors.

‘’Three, or even four generations later, they have become active cross-border citizens. From culture to politics, sports to economics, their presence is enriched by their contributions and the questions they raise. Today it makes Belgium a unique laboratory for the intercultural societies of the future', says the book's introduction.

"Belgica Biladi" contains the contributions of over twenty experts, along with the personal stories of Moroccan-belgians, and constitutes a rich source of knowledge on the Moroccan community in Belgium

The publisher's introduction notes :"Telling a Belgian-Moroccan human story means reminding the reader about events, examining changing patterns and circumstances, and above all speaking about people's lives, experiences, achievements and dreams, from tajine to chips".
