| dc.description.abstract | This study tries to investigate the representation of african women in Assia Djebar's "Les nuits de Strasbourg" from algerian marginalized woman point of view. The main objective is to demonstrate how Djebar in a postcolonial context focuses on memory, history and identity that is lost. In order to highlight this idea, an analysis of the colonized identity is made to demonstrate its connection with history. Following this, the representation of Thelja, the main character of les nuits de Strasbourg whose emptiness is apparent in the novel, is made clear through defining the character identity, and signifying the effects of emptiness on the characters and communities. The study also attempts to make a link between postcolonial theory and feminism in Africa and the main concern is to show that the concept of postcolonial feminist exists in african literature, through analyzing Djebar's les nuits de Strasbourg; by focusing on examining the characters and try to portray how they live between past and future. The main questions asked are How african women reflect and challenge the norms to create a new and strong identity, and define the african women's struggle during colonialism, also How african women writers affirm their identity and express their suffering through writings. Furthermore, the thesis discuses identity as a main concept of postcolonialism and clarifies the use of language as an important marker and a repository of cultural tradition. | ar |
