This paper examines the problem of identity and the concept of home in the two novels: Aminata Forna’s Ancestor Stones (2006) and Brian Chikwava’s Harare North (2009). Using a descriptive analytical method, it analyzes both texts through a postcolonial lens by applying Homi K. Bhabha and Frantz Fanon’s theories. The article describes how colonized people’s lives are shaped by the idea of mimicry, hybridity and displacement in both native and diasporic contexts. Furthermore, it tries to disclose the protagonists’ experiences of exile, migration, alienation and how the colonial heritage creates a profound psychological conflict in the characters’ psyches, which leads, in effect, to a split identity for the characters that forces them to struggle for belonging in new circumstances. Additionally, it shows the changing roles of women in both texts and how they navigate their lives during and after colonialism. It presents a critical perspective on the complexities of cultural negotiation in contemporary African societies. With the support of a good number of up-to-date critical sources, the study reached some conclusions like: identity is not fixed thing, but it is a dynamic process which is affected by different external aspects.
