Abstract

The purpose of this paper is, through a reading of Jo també soc catalana (2004) by Najat El Ha­chmi, morroccan immigrant living in Barcelone, Spain, to think the ways in which the writer lives what Rogério Haesbaert calls multiterritoriality. We will observe how through the experience of living various languages, Amazigh, Catalan, and Spanish, the writer reinforces the idea of a hybrid identity.
