Zusammenfassung:Hochberg comments on Albert Swissa's Aqud and Farida Belghoul's Georgette!, two novels that focus on North African children's immigration problem. In revisiting the so-called "problem of immigration" through the failed narratives of the outcast, Swissa and Belghoul remind that this problem is in fact "produced" through a continual process of signification that locates in the immigrant the border of the legitimate national subject.
