Focusing on spatial locations in postcolonial literature, the study examines key works by Wilson Harris, Toni Morrison, and Salman Rushdie, among others. By adopting a transnational perspective, it challenges the emphasis on national identity, highlighting how concepts like journey, city, home, and body serve as mediums for personal and communal resistance against colonial and neo-colonial injustices. This innovative analysis reveals the power of place in shaping narratives of identity and defiance in postcolonial contexts.
