This text uses various works of Edwidge Danticat to propose a post-colonial reality brought on by revolutionary reimagining of society through narrative storytelling. It describes the reconstruction and recuperation of memory, intertextuality, maternity, language and orality and how they provide a postcolonial strategy for survival of female narrators in Danticat’s texts. It highlights the force of imaginative possibilities in which colonial tendencies manipulate the imagination to enforce domination.
