| dc.description.abstract | This research is a comparative study that explores the issues of female subjectivity, intersectionality, and female resistance in Assia Djebar’s L’Amour, La Fantasia (1985) and Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987). Relying on Safia Mirza’s conceptualizations for defining intersectionality and female resistance, and drawing on postcolonial feminist theory, Black feminist thought, and theories of trauma and memory, this work examines how both authors present the complex experiences of women under the intersecting pressures of gender, race, and historical oppression. Through close readings of the two literary works by employing an exacting comparative framework, the basic findings of our work is that both L’Amour, La Fantasia and Beloved critically reframe official historical narratives to powerfully assert women's agency and reclaim their silenced voices in the face of historical trauma and ongoing oppression. Ultimately, this study underscores the enduring power of literature as a site of resistance and remembrance, illuminating how marginalized voices confront erasure by transforming suffering into collective empowerment. | |
