| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT Assia Djebar‟s Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade is an important work in the Francophone literature; it brings the Algerian woman into the Algerian history to erase the stereotypes formulated by both the colonial and the patriarchal structures. Therefore, the aim of this research is to study images of women in Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade. According to a Feminist Postcolonial approach the novel examines Djebar‟s attempt to praise the maternal culture as a necessary step in changing the image of Arab women as “powerless victims” in a patriarchal Algerian-Islamic context. Hence, the first chapter introduces the historical events of Algeria during the colonial period. It sheds light on the confined status of women in both colonial and patriarchal society. The second chapter involves the multiple images of Algerian women that inspire oppression and resistance. The third chapter employs Feminist Postcolonial theory to approach the novel. Thus, Djebar portrays the Algerian women in different heroic images: as a colonized Algerian female, as a beloved, as a bride, as mother or widow freedom fighter to immortalize their contribution in the Algerian history. | en_US |
