dc.description.abstractThe study examines the nexus between magical realism and the postcolonial discourse in Ben Okri’s Infinite Riches and The Famished Road. The study relies on the postcolonial theory as formulated by Frantz Fanon. Ben Okri’s two novels, The Famished Road andInfinite Riches which form the basis for this study, form the basis for this study and also help to explore and understand the connection between Magical realism and the Postcolonial discourse. Using the postcolonial theory, the study examines how the postcolonial narrative is portrayed using magical realism. The study employs close reading and interpretation of both the primary and secondary data sources. The study establishes that magical realism aids the rendition of a postcolonial narrative. Magical realism is also employed in the two postcolonial narratives as a way of resistance and as a dominant voice of the colonial encounter.
