الملخص

This research is a comparative study between Andrea Levy‟s Fruit of the Lemon (1999) and Mohja Kahf‟s the girl in the tangerine scarf (2006) from a post-colonial perspective. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the instability and changing nature of identity and to shed light on the racism faced by the Black and Muslim immigrants in the two novels, focusing on the two protagonists Faith and Khadra. To reach this purpose, we have relied on some post-colonial concepts developed by Stuart Hall, Edward Said and other post-colonial theorists. At first we have studied the Black immigrants‟ experience in Britain through Andrea Levy‟s Fruit of the Lemon (1999). In fact, we have dealt with the effects of racism and the generations‟ gap on Faith‟s identity. Moreover we have shown the Importance of roots and history in constructing her identity. Similarly, in the second chapter, we have explored Muslim immigrants‟ experience of racism and identity crisis in America through Mohja Kahf‟s the girl in the tangerine scarf (2006). We have focused on Khadra‟s identity crisis and her undergoing the journey of self realization through roots and history. Thus, after studying the two selected works we came to the conclusion that even though Andrea Levy and Mohja Kahf are of different geographical areas, culture, religions, languages, they share common attitudes toward racism and identities‟ transformations.
