Abstract
This thesis explores two memoirs and two poems written by three migrant Arab writers, Nassera Chohra, Mohamed Bouchane, and Aziz Bouzidy, in the emerging genre of Italian literature of migration. Issues of identity formation are paramount to these works as these migrants seek to define themselves and assert their individuality in the face of dominant cultural norms. The work draws especially from the critical theory of Homi Bhabha's The Location of Cultures (1996) and his definitions of hybridity and enunciation and their role in identity formation. However, shortcomings in the notion of hybridity, as demonstrated in these works, are discussed and analyzed. The term hybridization is proposed, and supported with textual examples, in order to better contextualize the migrant experiences narrated in these writings.
