Si le titre fran\u00e7ais du nouveau roman de Sefi Atta<\/a>, Made in Nigeria, n\u2019est pas terrible, on comprend vite qu\u2019il est plus sens\u00e9 qu\u2019il n\u2019en a l\u2019air. Le narrateur, Lukmon Karim, vient d\u2019arriver \u00e0 New York avec sa femme et leurs deux enfants, Taslim, bient\u00f4t 17 ans, et Bashira, 14. Nous allons les accompagner jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019automne 2001. On est en 1999. Ils s\u2019installent d\u2019abord chez un cousin, un type p\u00e9nible qui ne cesse de d\u00e9nigrer leur pays et de s\u2019en prendre aux noirs, \u00abfeignants de nature\u00bb \u2013 inutile de lui faire remarquer qu\u2019il est noir. Un soir qu\u2019il les a mis au d\u00e9fi de citer un seul produit que le Nigeria soit capable de fournir, Lukmon, qui ne r\u00e9pond jamais, songe au moment de se coucher \u00e0 une repartie. Le cousin voulait un exemple ? Eh bien, \u00abil lui suffisait de regarder autour de sa table. Ma famille en \u00e9tait un, avec le respect imm\u00e9rit\u00e9 que nous lui t\u00e9moignions et notre extr\u00eame aptitude \u00e0 la tol\u00e9rance. Nous \u00e9tions les produits de notre pays, con\u00e7us par la tradition, conditionn\u00e9s par l\u2019adversit\u00e9 et oblit\u00e9r\u00e9s par les r\u00e9gimes militaires.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Le titre original, The Bad Immigrant, aurait aussi bien convenu. Pour le cousin, le mauvais immigrant est celui qui se montre incapable de saisir sa chance. Lukmon Karim pense autrement.
