Abstract

Bernardine Evaristo, In Girl, Woman, Other (2019), narrates stories of hyphenated identities, highlighting the struggle of women In the context of their specific culture and the construction of resistance In contemporary English language fiction. Rosa María Rodrígues Magda’s concepts of a transmodern narrative and Erving Goffman’s concept of stigma will dialogue with Mark Stein’s studies of novels of transformation produced by black English women writers after the third Windrush generation. Evaristo problematizes the self and the other In her journeys, raising significant and urgent questions about the lives of black women In Britain. The purpose of this research is to oppose oppression and the implicit message is to resist oppression In its own way.
