Abstract EN:

This research deals with the problem of the cultural mixture that followed the historical period of the French colonization over Tunisia. Indeed, the Tunis-born writer Albert Memmi belongs to the trend of the French-speaking literature, or "Francophonie", a notion rather similar to the British commonwealth. The first volume of this research tries to describe the Tunisian society during the colonial period with its three communities: Muslim, Jewish and European. Consequently we try to show the Jewish ghetto as it appears in albert Memmi’s work. Then we analyse the colonial relationship between the different communities. In the second volume we propose a third reading of the problem of identity, which is not considered only as Jewish as in Dugas ‘point of view or only as a fact of alienation as in Isaac Yetiv's books and articles. We show that slowly the notion of double culture (métissage culturel) is acknowledged by the writer and becomes an enrichment for the personality as soon as the inequal relationship disappears. Three steps. . .
