CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE’S HALF

This research drawing on postcolonial theory and subaltern concept examines voice and memory in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun and Amma Darko’s Faceless by examining how voice and memory reclaim silenced narratives, expose social injustices and highlight the struggles of marginalized groups. It also shows how these elements serve as tools for healing, resistance and social transformation. This research analyzes the role of storytelling and remembrance as means of healing and resistance against historical erasure. The findings reveal that Adichie and Darko use voice and memory not merely as artistic expressions but as important tools for confronting the past and redefining African identity. This research concludes that literature serves as a powerful medium for preserving individual and collective memory and also promoting social awareness in postcolonial contexts
