Letterio Antonio Pantò

The contribution deals with the social representation and the young maghrebin’s way of life in Paris. The young maghrebins in France, above all in Paris, live a hard situation since the tradition’s principles of Maghreb (North Africa) clash with french society. Consequently, this conflict bears to a problem of social identity for young maghrebins; and, exactly, this situation leads to a condition of no-identity. The young maghrebins is a felon, a dangerous person, for the french idea; this labelling will establish a peculiar subculture.
