«Les boucs» is the novel by Moroccan writer Driss Chraïbi, published by Gallimard in paperback (181 pages, in French).
Set in France in the 1950s, the novel portrays newly arrived immigrants from North Africa and shows their daily life marked by precariousness, racism and exploitation. Through several stories, Chraïbi addresses the gap between the promise of a better life and the social exclusion they suffer.
The novel was first published in 1955; this French edition is from 1989 and belongs to the Folio collection.
It is a work for readers interested in twentieth-century Francophone literature and in experiences of migration and social exclusion.
