I lavoratori magrebini detti ‘chibanis’ sono stati i silenziosi protagonisti della ricostruzione della Francia dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale, trasformati in immigrati ‘celibi’ negli anni della crisi economica, riclassificati in modo generico in ambito politico e amministrativo a causa agli sviluppi giuridici francesi della decolonizzazione. Gli scrittori magrebini di lingua francese appartenenti alle ‘seconde generazioni’ hanno in parte colmato l’assenza sociale e identitaria dei loro padri, ricostituendo i drammi personali, la solitudine e la memoria collettiva di questi lavoratori, ‘assenti’ loro malgrado e privati di una traccia storica

Abstract

e Maghrebi workers known as ‘chibanis’ were the silent protagonists of the reconstruction of France after World War II, transformed into ‘celibate’ immigrants in the years of the economic crisis, reclassified in a generic way in the political and administrative spheres due to the French legal developments of decolonisation. French-speaking Maghrebi writers belonging to the ‘second generations’ have partly filled the social and identity absence of their fathers, reconstituting the personal dramas, loneliness, and collective memory of these workers, ‘absent’ in spite of themselves and deprived of a historical trace.
