Resistance in postcolonial studies is crucial for the establishment of cultural autonomy and individual identity against dominant cultures. This concept has historically promoted freedom and the empowerment of marginalized identities. The resurgence of resistance studies today is driven by innovative perspectives influenced by postcolonial and feminist methodologies in the context of neocolonialism. This study delves into the intersection of postcolonial theories, resistance, and identity in Toni Morrison’s Beloved and Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns, exploring how resistance can shape individual identities against oppressive narratives.
The concept of maternal resistance in these novels transcends traditional roles and becomes a powerful tool for understanding struggle, independence, and identity formation in the face of neocolonial discourse. Morrison and Hosseini portray maternal figures as agents of resistance against oppression, with Beloved highlighting the sacrifices of maternal resilience in the context of slavery, and A Thousand Splendid Suns glorifying the mother as a catalyst for transformation. By reclaiming maternal resilience in its existential sense, the authors emphasize the role of mothers in shaping resistance-based identities and narratives.
