"Indigenous Identity in Postcolonial Fiction" is a profound analysis of the transformations of indigenous identity in Egypt and Australia, as depicted in the narratives of Naguib Mahfouz and David Malouf. The book explores the complex interactions between postcolonial aspirations and the enduring influences of British colonial rule. Despite the efforts of postcolonial countries to free themselves from British military occupation, the study shows that colonial structures continue to impact the cultural, social, political, and religious aspects of indigenous identity. Mahfouz and Malouf offer different perspectives on the effects of the British metropolis on indigenous peoples, highlighting the diversity of experiences and challenges in these two countries. The analysis demonstrates that British power remains effective in Egypt, while it encounters resistance in Australia, underscoring the complexity of postcolonial identity.
