Migration is a sociological and historical phenomenon as old as the history of mankind. In his book Les Noirs de la diaspora, historian Ibrahima Baba Kaké points out that "Man is a terribly traveller animal. He leaves his homeland regardless of the barriers that surround him" in order to meet his fellow human beings and discover other horizons, other ways of life. In this study of migration and immigration in the French-language African novel, we are particularly interested in the migratory movements of the second half of the last century, with the exception of a few novels, such as Bakary Diallo's Force Bonté published at the beginning of the century. The aim was to question these works in order to understand how migration and the immigration of the characters are described by the authors. This description first paints a more or less complete picture of the causes of the protagonists' mobility, and then looks at the consequences.
