Abstract

In his novel La Statue de sel (1953) the Tunisian author Albert Memmi advocates for tolerance and understanding to his francophone readers. This article examines the originality of this novel which deals with intolerance towards the Jew/the intellectual/the poor through the character of Alexandre Mordechaï Benillouche, offspring of a Jewish and Berber mixed family. He is the victim of a triple cleavage, alienated from his family and culture, but also from the anti-Semite social environment in which he grows up, as well as from the French colonizer's culture.
