Abstract
Recent developments in the sociology of knowledge and the sociology of culture, with the contributions from ethno methodology, etc. constructionists have shown the attribution of it's meaning to reality. The image of an immigrant, a foreigner is along the normal stream of speeches and gestures that make a collective stand. The negation of the 'Other' often underlies this construction, therefore a result of constant everyday practice and the power connected to it is found everywhere, in every space, without being bound in a monopolistic central hierarchy. In this analysis from the writings collected in the book 'embarrassment' by Kossi Komla Ebri, the 'Other', which is defined through the practices with which we will relate to it, is the African immigrant who lives in the midst of us and is still recognized as different.
