Abstract
This dissertation attempts to study the issue of Resistance in Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye
(1970) and Mohammed Dib’s La nuit sauvage (1995). Emphasis is put on the way these
literary works depict the issue of resistance. Our research relies on Cultural Materialism
(1998) in which it analyses the theme of resistance and the way writers express it on their
works. This study explores the way resistance reflects power of any nation, it also examines
the two literary texts within the historical contexts of Black Civil Rights Movement and the
Algerian black decade in order to show its influence of the years in trouble. The study comes
to the conclusion that the two writers express nearly the same need of resistance.
