Shantytown kid Le gone du Chaâba

One day an illiterate Algerian immigrant in Lyon gave his son, Azouz Begag, a book, saying, "This book is a bird." How Begag took flight on the wings of learning is one of the stories that unfolds in this autobiographical novel of growing up amid the multicultural complexities of contemporary France. Determined to leave behind the poverty of his shantytown life, Begag works to become a star pupil at the local primary school--earning the jealousy and rejection of his Arab playmates even as he contends with the racism of his French peers. Begag's moving and often comical account of negotiating a path between the competing cultural spaces encountered during his childhood is a tale of coming of age in a world of ethnic and racial tensions. A story for all ages, it offers insights into the reweaving of the social fabric of France in response to growing ethnic diversity.--From publisher description.

  • "Le Chaâba? Un bidonville au bord du Rhône, près de Lyon, il n'y a pas si longtemps. Un amas de baraques en bois, trop vite bâties par ces immigrants qui ont fui la misère algérienne. Ici comme ailleurs, les éclats de rire des enfants résonnent dès le lever du soleil. Les "gones" se lavent à l'eau du puits et font leurs devoirs à même la terre. Mais chaque matin, ils enfilent leurs souliers pour se rendre à l'école avec les autres. Là, derrière les mots inscrits sur le cahier d'écriture, de nouveaux horizons apparaissent. Un monde de connaissances, de rêves et d'espoirs à découvrir."

  • "Les gones sont les enfants d'immigrés algériens qui vivent au Chaâba, un bidonville au bord du Rhône, près de Lyon. Dans cet amas de baraques en bois, les gones se lavent à l'eau du puits et font leurs devoirs sur le sol. Mais, tous les matins, ils enfilent leurs chaussures pour aller à l'école avec les autres enfants de la ville."
