Abstract

This article discusses the work of the Jewish writer of Algerian origin Albert Bensoussan (1935-), and the memories of his movements between languages ​​and continents: Arabic and French; Spanish; his origins in colonial Algeria and his present in Brittany. Bensoussan's trajectory is emblematic of the destiny of an entire generation and an entire group: the Jews born in the Islamic world in the 19th and 20th centuries, who were marked, on the one hand, by the experience of the colonization of their home countries by European nations and, on the other, by the persecutions and expulsions that took place after the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. The article also discusses the issues of mother tongue and language as homeland.
