Abstract
This work is aimed at approaching the memory of the African and Turkish immigrants in Lorraine. This region cannot be ignored today as it has on its soil a "mixed and motley" population, and in terms of mixing of populations, it differs from other territories of France. As Pierre Bardelli, one of the initiators of the conference hosted by Lorraine Land on mixing of populations noted, it is "historically yours?. Moreover, Gerard Noiriel emphasizes the idea that we should not consider his history as a fixed story, but rather as a constant back and forth between past and present. Since about 1890, due to exponential regional industrialization and lack of crucial manpower, hundreds of thousands of immigrants have been called in to work. Therefore, they are border people of Eastern Europe and South America, the Maghreb, Black Africa, and Turks who all share the same territories. The idea of this work is to present the methodological part on the collections of stories based on the observation that the memory of African people from the River Senegal and Turkey had little visibility in the face of others.
