The theme of migration in the novel “Les chemins qui montent” by Mouloud Feraoun

Abstract

Mouloud FERAOUN addressed the issue of immigration in his various works, wishing
to highlight this phenomenon widespread in Kabylie during the presence of French
colonialism in Algeria. The author attempted to show the resulting effects, whether at the
level of the individual or at the level of the society to which the immigrant belongs. In the
novel (Les chemins qui montent), we see the writer's vision and position on the issue of
immigration, through which he paints a dark picture that shows the extent of the suffering to
which expatriates are subjected in their quest for a better life.
