الملخص

This dissertation is a comparative study between Chinua Achebe’s No Longer at Ease (1960) and Ama Ata Aidoo’s Our Sister Killjoy (1977). The aim of this research is to discuss the representation of the African elites in both narratives in terms of political corruption and cultural alienation. The subsequent chapters of our discussion have relied on Frantz Fanon’s postcolonial theory, mainly in the chapter ‘The Pitfalls of National Consciousness’ from his book entitled The Wretched of the Earth (1961) and the concept of ‘Cultural alienation’ from his book Black Skin, White Masks (1952). The basic findings of our investigation reveal in the first chapter that the integrity of African elites was compromised by political corruption involving bribery, which undermines public trust and governance. In the second chapter their identity was significantly influenced by cultural alienation by aligning with Western norms, reinforcing foreign dominance and intensifying challenges in post-colonial societies. Furthermore, these phenomena contributed to the perpetuation of neo-colonialism, intensifying the challenges faced by post-colonial societies.
