چکیده

Postcolonial (African) literature as a counter discourse in literature attempts to refute and dismantle the negative prevailing images by the Westerners toward the colonized [African] subjects and resist the colonizer/colonized dichotomy. In this regard, African writers and critics write back to not only dismantle such binary dichotomies, but also to assert the lost dignity, identity and history of the colonized because of experiencing the colonizing process. One of those contributors to postcolonial literature is Chinua Achebe, whose critical and effective attitudes through applying of the colonial language have led to the emergence of a considerable amount of criticism. In his novels, Achebe documents the true portrayal of African history in the context of the Igbo tribe before colonial era, during the colonial era and its aftermath. In this regard, Achebe s African Trilogy has been selected to be investigated and discussed from the postcolonial point of view. His Trilogy based upon the colonial condition can be labeled under the category of the postcolonial literature. Thus, the present study examines Postcoloniality in the context of "inferiority complex" and "otherness" through the postcolonial perspectives and selected texts of Frantz Fanon and Edward Said in an attempt to demonstrate the inferiority and otherness of the colonial subjects within Achebe s Trilogy during the process of colonization.
