Abstract
The following research work aims at comparing and studying James Joyce’s A Portrait of
the Artist as a Young Man (1916) with Mouloud Feraoun’s Le Fils Du Pauvre (1950) in the
light of thePost Colonial theory developed by Frantz Fanon in The Wretched of the Erath
(1961), by following the IMRAD method. The work also contains three chapters, the first one
is devoted to the study of the historical circumstances and key events which influenced both
authors in writing their respective autobiographies, while the second one deals with the quest
for identity motif and the search for belonging using Fanon’s three concepts or stages of
“assimilation”, “resistance, and “combat”. The last chapter studies the visionary views,
imaginations of Joyce and Feraoun for creating new nations; it comprises also their attitudes
towards nationalism using the notion of the “native intellectual”.
