Abstract
Senegalese writer Ousmane Sembène has devoted special attention to the phenomenon of immigration and the figure of the migrant. His novels and short stories denounce the situation of social exclusion in which Senegalese migrants find themselves within the society of former French colonizing power. Sembène criticize, among other things, the social representations and the social mechanisms implemented to make migration possible. He therefore emphasizes the dangers of migration because the migrant's experience is traumatic. The migrant is the object of incomprehension, mistrust and hostility from the new society which will end up destroying his identity by upsetting his beliefs, his acquired convictions, his received ideas, his own sensitivity, his affinities and his life in short.
