Abstract

Identity formation represents a complex and challenging process for immigrants navigating the intricate social landscapes of host communities. In Bernardine Evaristo's Girl, Woman, Other and Candice Carty-Williams' Queenie, the protagonists negotiate their cultural identities within the context of British societal structures that often marginalize and challenge their sense of belonging. This study explores the nuanced strategies of identity negotiation, resistance, and self-affirmation employed by characters like Amma, Yazz, Carol, and Queenie. Through their narratives, the novels reveal how these women transform systemic challenges into opportunities for profound personal growth, ultimately transcending the restrictive boundaries imposed by dominant social narratives. The characters' journeys demonstrate a powerful process of self-discovery, where personal agency and cultural resilience emerge as transformative forces against societal rejection and marginalization.
