France has been a country of immigration with a considerable power in the world. We see that many writers such as J.-M.G. Le Clézio, whose family comes from colonized lands, include in their novels the social problems brought about by this power of the country. J.-M.G. Le Clézio, who questions the difficulties of knowing himself and surviving in dominant European societies while constructing the identity of the individual who grew up with the influence of different cultures, is in a very personal search for his identity, origins and the colonized lands in question in his novels. His travels, which are an integral part of him, are journeys that represent the individual's ability to reach freedom. Le Clézio, whose texts reflect the echoes of different cultures, accepts himself as a dual citizen and defends the idea that he can create his own identity only thanks to these travels. Le Clézio, who started to follow the traces of the past since his childhood, tries to discover all the unknown details waiting to be revealed in the footsteps of his ancestors and past, in order to form his own identity. J.-M.G. Le Clézio, who seeks to find his own identity and argues that the way to find it is not to break away from his past, presents the past of his African but also Mauritian father, mostly through his heroes, who also carry his own biographical traces. In this context, J.-M.G. Le Clézio, who sees himself as a defender of the concept of interculturality, in which each culture is valued separately and accepted by him as the most correct way of living together, while strictly adhering to the relationship between the individual and the collective, emphasizes an understanding of identity in which the individual does not lose his own essence.
