Cette thèse de doctorat, s’inscrivant dans le champ des études postcoloniales, s’intéresse à l’émergence du théâtre de l’immigration durant la décennie 1970 dans la continuité de luttes qui marquent l’apparition d’un discours critique sur la colonisation et ses effets. Le théâtre est y utilisé comme une arme de combat, une poursuite de l’activité politique et militante, permettant de démanteler les mécanismes d’aliénation et d’exploitation auxquels sont soumis les immigrés en contexte contemporain. Il est en effet désormais impossible de penser l’immigration sans penser les résultats d’une histoire qui a débuté avec la colonisation. Les indépendances, loin de consacrer une rupture dans les modes de domination établis pendant la colonisation, semblent au contraire en perpétuer certaines pensées et pratiques dans une expression renouvelée : c’est notamment à travers la figure de l’immigré algérien, excroissance à rebours de la colonie française qu’était l’Algérie, que des modes de traitement, d’encadrement et de surveillance de l’immigration, hérités en partie de la période coloniale, perdurent dans la période postcoloniale. Ces mécanismes de domination et d’exploitation des travailleurs immigrés seront violemment dénoncés durant la décennie, qui voit l’apparition à la fois d’une nouvelle subjectivité politique et l’émergence d’un théâtre immigré dont la pratique illustre les théories anglo-saxonnes sur la colonisation et ses conséquences dans le jaillissement de nouvelles formes discursives et esthétiques. Le poids de l’héritage colonial, en particulier celui lié à l’Algérie, permet ainsi de mobiliser les travailleurs autour d’une identité contextuelle et de développer un théâtre qui repose idéologiquement et esthétiquement sur l’examen panoramique d’une réalité qui s’inscrit dans une temporalité et une territorialité complexes, liées au mouvement. / This doctoral dissertation, falling in the field of postcolonial studies, investigates the emergence of an immigration theatre during the decade 1970 in the continuation of fights that characterise the development of a critical discourse regarding colonisation and its effects. In this context, theatre is used as a weapon, a prolongation of the political and militant activism, permitting to dismantle the mechanisms of alienation and exploitation to which immigrants are subject in contemporary environment. Indeed, it is now impossible to consider immigration without considering outcomes of a history initiated with colonisation. Independences, far from consecrating a rupture in the modes of domination established during colonisation, instead seem to perpetuate some beliefs and practises in a renewed expression: it is in particular through the Algerian immigrant figure, backward excrescence of the French colony Algeria was, that methods for processing, supervising and monitoring immigration, in part inherited from the colonial era, persist during postcolonial times. These domination and exploitation mechanisms directed toward immigrant workers will be fiercely denounced during the decade, which sees apparition at the same time of a new political subjectivity and the emergence of an immigrant theatre, whose practise illustrates Anglo-Saxon theories on colonisation and its consequences in the burst of new discursive and aesthetical forms. The weight of colonial legacy, particularly the one related to Algeria, therefore allows to mobilise workers around a contextual identity and to develop a theatre ideologically and aesthetically based on the panoramic examination of a reality inscribed in complex temporality and territoriality linked to motion.

In 1847, 215,000 Irish fled their famine-stricken and diseased homeland, and of this number, some 90,000 headed for the shores of Canada. It was both the largest and most diseased and destitute emigration that Canada had ever received, and it caught the colony almost totally by surprise. Many Canadians had been able to follow the course of the potato blight and famine in Ireland, but very few appeared to have considered their impact on the emigration to Canada. They had the assurances of those best informed about the condition of Ireland, the Imperial Government, that, no extraordinary measures would be needed; why should their word be doubted? In the first weeks of the Immigration season, Canadians discovered that the Imperial authorities were wrong; the colony found itself forced to deal with an abnormal immigration with only the meagrest preparations, Canadian emigration officials spent the rest of the season attempting to recover from the shock of those first weeks; all they could do was attempt to. relieve the sufferings of the immigrants to the best of their ability. Stop-gap relief measures were authorized by the Canadian Government for as long as distress and disease were prevalent; private charitable institutions stepped in to provide shelter and care for the helpless among the immigrants. In the end, the colony succeeded, despite its financial difficulties, both in enabling the Irish to regain their health and in making them producing members of the community, something which few Canadians, at the height of the crisis, felt would be possible. This successful 'absorption' of the immigrants, however, had been accomplished only with difficulty and at great cost. This thesis examines the Canadian response, and particularly that of the various levels of government, to the immigration crisis which it faced in 1847 and the strains which this crisis placed upon the relations of the Imperial and Colonial governments. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate

Within the past few years, Marseille has been upheld in the media as a success story of French immigration policy due its apparent ability to welcome and integrate diverse social groups, notably North African immigrants and their descendants. While it is true that Marseille has largely escaped the social unrest found in other French cities with significant numbers of immigrant residents, the city’s large North African population still faces marginalization and discrimination. This thesis aims to challenge the recent positive journalistic narrative by highlighting the ongoing social issues that North African immigrants still face in the city.

Brooks County, home of the busiest immigration checkpoint in the U.S., is in the middle of the biggest human rights crises facing the United States. However, because of the county’s location 70 miles north of the border, it receives no federal funding to deal with the massive wave of immigrant deaths. Eduardo Canales, director of the South Texas Human Rights Center, is waging a lonely battle to curb the escalating number of immigrant deaths and save the county money by convincing members of the community to provide water for people dying of thirst. / text
