La Double Absence. Des illusions de l'émigré aux souffrances de l'immigré

SEUIL

L’émigration et l’immigration sont deux phénomènes aussi indissociables que le recto et le verso de la même feuille et pourtant très différents en apparence, au point qu’on croit pouvoir comprendre l’un sans connaître l’autre. Abdelmalek Sayad dévoile les contradictions inscrites dans la condition d’immigré : absent de sa famille, de son village, de son pays, et frappé d’une sorte de culpabilité inexpiable, mais tout aussi absent, du fait de l’exclusion dont il est victime, du pays d’arrivée, qui le traite comme simple force de travail. Autant de choses qui ne sont pas seulement dites dans le langage habituel de la littérature critique, mais également dans la langue que les immigrés emploient eux-mêmes pour faire part avec beaucoup d’intensité et de justesse de leur propre expérience.
