This article explores the growing phenomenon of migration of people from former colonies to European countries. The tremendous economic and technological development, in addition to the projected western humanism and generosity constitute the main drives of this massive influx of migrants into Europe. The study is based on Helon Habila’s Travellers (2019), which appears as a postcolonial text that fictionalizes the stories of some Black and Arab migrants who succeed to cross the European borders. In this novel of the category of migrant literature, the narrative puts side by side the migrants’ sad experiences and the supposed humanism promoted through the European concept of cosmopolitanism. In so doing, the author tackles the questions of identity and aspects of racism in the migration policy and practices of European countries.
