It charts the thematic and technical presentation of cultural identity in the literary output of both authors, with special reference to their respective trilogies, namely: Coetzee's \u003ci\u003eScenes from Provincial Life\u003c\/i\u003e and Okri's \u003ci\u003eThe Famished Road\u003c\/i\u003e. Through examining these texts, the book explores the dilemmas faced by many contemporary authors while discussing issues related to the construction of cultural identity in a postcolonial world. Studying Coetzee's and Okri's texts from a postcolonial perspective reveals how their very different writings share a range of commonalities. Both authors seek to find a middle ground between colonised and colonising cultures as they attempt to deconstruct the stereotypical images of the Other, creating a world purified of racial influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeba Mohamed Abdelaziz\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of English and comparative literature at the College of Language and Communication in The Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, Cairo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 242\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 15, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67592467906662,"sku":"9781666930474","price":192.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/Soxp4GKzX29781666930474.webp?v=1790761869","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/african-identity-today-in-the-writings-of-john-maxwell-coetzee-and-ben-silver-okri-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
