    (Mouloud Mammeri University, 2021) Ferhati Sabrina; Ibaouene Hayet
    This piece of research is a postcolonial comparative study of Wole Soyinka’s The Lion and The Jewel (1963) and Ama Ata Aidoo’s Anowa (1970). To carry out this study, we have relied on Homi K. Bhabha’s The Location of Culture (1994). We have focused on the affinities in the two authors’ misrepresentation of the traditional and modern thought and their cultural and social system. We have also dealt with the term Hybridity in both works and studied the authors’ point of view towards the postcolonial era. Our work has not only been restricted to the study of similarities and differences between the two works, but also the examination of Soyinka’s and Aidoo’s different approaches to celebrate and consolidate their respective traditions. Both Soyinka and Aidoo portray the theme of marriage and its aspects and how the traditional of marriage are obligatory in Africa in opposite to the modern one. The aim of our study revealed that both Soyinka and Aidoo expressed the inequality between two different worlds and two different sex male and female consciously or unconsciously.
