The ethno-text (Zabus, 1991, 2007) is one of the most recent concepts that addresses the transcultural aspect of postcolonial literature. The present paper aims to demonstrate that the ethno-text and ethno-textuality can be applied to Algerian literature, as represented by a two novels and essays: Mouloud Mammeri's essay Culture savante, culture vécue: études 1938-1989 (1991) and his novel La traversée (1982); Mouloud Feraoun's essay "La literature algérienne" in L'anniversaire (1972) and his novel Le fils du pauvre (1950).
