Overview

This book presents a profound comparative exploration of faith, resistance, and identity in the works of Alice Walker and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, two of the most influential voices in African and African-American feminist literature. Through an in-depth study of The Color Purple and Purple Hibiscus, the work examines how gender, race, religion, and colonial legacies intersect to shape women's experiences of oppression and empowerment.Structured across five comprehensive chapters, the book traces the evolution of feminist consciousness from silence to self-assertion, situating both authors within the broader discourse of African womanism and postcolonial thought. By analyzing themes such as racial identity, religious transformation, and social resistance, it highlights how Walker and Adichie reimagine female agency within patriarchal and colonial structures.With its balanced synthesis of literary theory, cultural criticism, and psychological insight, this study offers valuable perspectives for scholars, students, and readers interested in gender studies, postcolonial literature, and African feminist narratives.
