Abstract The current dissertation aims to analyze marginalization aspects in Emecheta’s Second Class Citizen, Rifaat’s Bahiyya’s Eyes, Roy’s The God of Small Things, and Faqir’s Pillars of Salt. These works display racial, social, political, and classy issues. In Second-class Citizen, a vivid portraiture of the bitter circumstances is shown, regarding the specific patriarchal domains in the African culture, resulting from Black women’s deprivation and empowering a position in the society. In Bahiyya’s Eyes, the psychological scarring of genital mutilation is portrayed. In The God of Small Things, a patriarchal society is peculiarly depicted to a degree in which law violations, forbidden relations, the changeable social order, and women oppressiveness preside over society. In Pillars of Salt, both patriarchy and colonization interact with each other as oppressiveness structures, entailing accumulated categories of violence against the colonized women. Therefore, the female characters are marginalized owing to certain factors. |
