Abstract
This essay seeks to explore Fantasia as Assia Djebar’s
bold attempt at retracing the historical patterns of colonization,
subjugation and subalternity from multiple feminine perspectives. The
article provides, on one hand, an answer to certain questions about
subaltern speech posed by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak in her famous
article “Can the Subaltern Speak?” and on the other, it also challenges
Spivak’s central question of whether subaltern speech is possible in postcolonial discourse.
