![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This paper aims to draw a comparative analysis of three works namely Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel and A Terrible Matriarchy and Don’t Run, My Love by Easterine Kire, produced in two extremes of the globe at different periods of time but share a connection most likely to be present in them than in any other comparison. The characteristics that are varied in these writings go beyond this and a definitive individualistic fibre contained in them provide the flavours of struggle, magic, folklore, liberation, human nature, which emanate from these narratives. The writings that have emerged from previously colonised countries do not only embody a retaliation to historiographical establishments which have grounded a colonial identity for them such that mobility within these political identifications of marginalisation, barbarism, insurgency, among others, and to move away from them has been a historic venture. ![]()
