    Plotting Eastern Women’s Multiple Colonization: A Comparative Study between Khaled Hossieni’s A Thousand Splendid Suns and Assia Djebar’s Fantasia, an Algerian Cavalcade
    (2021-06) Mohamed Elamine RABIA
    This dissertation addresses the relationship between literature and women multiple colonization in Djebar’s Fantasia and Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns. The two novels give a truthful portrayal of how women were, and still are, treated in Algeria and Afghanistan during colonization and post-coloniation. The selected novels are thus studied from different locations. That is to say, the research uses a Fanonian perspective as a tool that provides an insightful cultural understanding to the psychology of the colonized female. Postcolonial feminist approach, on the other hand, presents a good framwork to study the multiple colonization in the countries in question. This study is hence significant as it juxtaposes two works written in different languages, but importantly both speak one language of women oppression. Moreover, it brings together something about the subjection of women in Algeria and Afghanistan. By the end, the research has come to one conclusion—for however much the conditions of third world women may differ, they are always subjected to a kind of radical patriarchy.
