Actually, in the double culture system, the conflicts between the two different cultural heritages prevent the full expression of one cultural identity, permitting only the choice of some particular characteristics from both cultures. On the contrary, the 'identity in-between' allows for the crossing of the cultural boundaries between the two cultures - in this case Algerian and French - producing a new identity because "the space in-between possesses the qualities of transit: one gains entrance to it or across a threshold at its boundaries; exchange of language, of songs, of culture-defines those boundaries by transgressing them" (Bohlman 1997).
Nella double culture il conflitto tra due culture differenti impedisce la completa espressione di un'identità propria permettendo solamente la scelta di alcune particolari caratteristiche da una delle due. Al contrario l'identità in between permette di attraversare i confini tra le due differenti culture – in questo caso algerina e francese – producendo così una nuova identità, poiché "the space in-between posses the qualities of transit: one gains entrance to it or cross a threshold at its boundaries; exchange of language, of songs, of culture-defines those boundaries by transgressing them" (Bohlman 1997).
