  Abstract

This paper offers a comparative analysis of the female protagonists in the works of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, focusing on the significant influence of migration on cultural production and identity formation. Through novels like Adichie’s Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun, as well as Divakaruni’s The Mistress of Spices and The Palace of Illusions, both authors delve into the experiences of women as they navigate cultural boundaries shaped by migration, displacement, and diaspora. Using a feminist lens, the study highlights how migration becomes a transformative force in reconstructing identity, challenging patriarchal structures, and shaping cultural expression in postcolonial literature.
