This thesis centres on texts by contemporary authors Emine Sevgi Ozdamar, a Turkish-German writer, and Leila Sebbar, an Algerian-French writer. Through these texts, it explores the impact of postcolonial and labour migration on contemporary French and German cultures in terms other than postcolonial hybridity or intercultural dialogue, by following a methodology drawn from Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's concept of minor literature and from broader aspects of Deleuze's ontology of difference.
