Résumé:
This dissertation aims to study and analyze Intersectionality and woman’s resistance in Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing through shedding light on the experiences of female characters of African descent. It examines the various forms of oppression and discrimination, based on race, gender, and class, that these women face in society. This dissertation uses black feminism and postcolonial feminism as theoretical frameworks to analyze the experiences of marginalized women across generations. The intersecting identities and intergenerational trauma play a crucial role in shaping the experiences of the female characters, leading to multiple strategies and responses for resistance and resilience. Consequently, these female characters change their circumstances across several generations which reflect their ability to achieve justice and equality, and their efforts to make their voices heard.
