| Abstract | r:[1. his article offers an examination of the role of cultural space and the question of '-ill national identity in two novels by second-generation immigrants ofNorth African (Maghrebian) origin in France: Le Gone du Chaaba by Azouz Begag and Ifs disent que je suis une Beurette by Soraya Nini. Of particular interest in both novels is the role of education.
