المستخلص

This research analyzes how the intersection of race and gender intensifies the suffering of female characters In Shamieh's The Black Eyed. They are doubly victimized at the hands of colonizers because of being women and Arabs in the same time. Colonization and patriarchy dominate and oppress these females in direct and indirect ways. Direct ways depend on acting different forms of violence against them such as marginalization, racism, enslaving their bodies, and employing these bodies to serve colonial agendas. Indirect ways depend on the colonization of these female characters' minds through repressive ideologies to make these women willingly obedient to patriarchal or colonial rule.
