Migrants undergo profound changes in encounter with the new environment, culture and customs during their emigration. Their concern of preserving native culture on the one hand, and making constructive relations with the new environment on the other are of emigrants difficulties. Novel is one of the most enduring tools for portraying the challenges migrants face with when embracing a dual identity. Many Arab writers, including the contemporary Algerian novelist Amara Lakhous in his novel kayfa tarḑaʽ min al-ḏỉ'ba duna an taʽazzoka (how you breast feed from a she-wolf without being bitted), have dealt with the subject of third world migrants in European countries. Lakhous novel draws on the identity crises of the immigrant and the cultural, social and religious contradictions they have experienced in those countries. The present study tries to analyse personalities of Lakhous novel according to Homi Bhabha ideas, an American-Indian theorist. The study's results show that the hybrid identity is portrayed in matters such as religion, food, language, race, name and mores. Moreover, the most immigrants are not capable of making discourse and cultural exchange. Their inability to make relations with the immigration space leads to their inability in accepting new identity. Manuscript profile
