Summary/Abstract: The present work analyzes the migration phenomenon in Europe put into representation in Maghreb French-speaking literature, first of all, that of the fifties and then that of the eighties. Four parts compose the work, the first of which returns to the causes of immigration and the second of which examines the conditions described by the Maghreb writers to highlight the treatment reserved for emigrant workers in the host country. As for the third part of the analysis, she wonders about the means of integration, highlighting the role of the French school as described Azouz Begag in "The Gone Chaâba". The last part, devoted to mixed marriages from which generations of half-Algerian and half-French children are born, evokes as much the traumas as the possibilities of fulfillment that such unions are likely to generate.
