Multiple Displacements in Anita Desai's 'Bye-Bye Black Bird' and Khaled Hosseini's 'And the Mountain Echoed'

Edward Said brought a revolution in the post colonial studies by his publication, Orientalism (1978). Homi Bhabha and Paul Gilory, Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths, and Helen Tiffin further explored the post -colonial concept of alienation, hybridity, mimicry and displacement.  In the modern times the term "postcolonial" has been interpreted in different ways with wide implications. The cultural theorists Greenblatt and Alan Sinfield brought many changes in the theory and practice of post-colonial literature. They contributed a lot in the development of post-colonial theories by adding new themes and issues of the colonized society. Anita Desai's  'Bye-Bye Blackbird' and Khaled Hosseini's 'And The Mountains Echoed'  present  the themes of alienation, displacement and identity crisis. The present paper is an attempt to study multiple displacements.
