abstract = "« He came as a cousin and left as a gendarme. » This anecdote expresses the identity paradox in the Comoros and the {\textquoteleft}migration{\textquoteright} drama that has been happening in the Archipelago since the arbitrary introduction of the Balladur Visa in 1995. Mayotte that is {\textquoteleft}officially{\textquoteright} French has been labelled “the biggest marine graveyard in the world”. How can works of imagination on “migration” from Anjouan to Mayotte constitute a kind of collective social therapy and social intervention? This book answers this question (among others) by studying 18 works, and combining literary studies with anthropology, sociology, history and international law.",
