This research paper entitles ‘Alienation, Cultural Clash and Identity in Post-Colonial Africa in Ngugi Wa Thiong’o’s Petals of Blood (1977) and Rachid Mimouni’s L’Honneur de la Tribu (1989). To reach our purpose, we have selected aspects to display the concepts of Frantz Fanon ‘Pitfall of National Consciousness’ and ‘On National Culture’ in his ‘The Wretched of the Earth’ and ‘Black Skin Whites Mask’. This research is limited precisely in the study of the issue of corruption and exploitation, class struggle and language and religion in the first chapter, the issue of identity in the second chapter. We have analyzed the issue of Alienation, cultural clash and identity in both novels by mentioning how both societies namely ‘Kenya’ and ‘Algeria’ are alienated by western culture and how they struggle in order to reconstruct their identity. The results that can be drawn from this study how Alienation, Cultural Clash and Identity in Ngugi Wa Thiong’o and Rachid Mimouni was lost with the coming of the colonizer and how they were restored.
