While in Mort d’Oluwémi d’Ajumako, Ajumako rules his people with tyranny and refuses to cooperate with the new political regime, Dieudonné wishes in Dieu nous l’a donné to tackle the colonial system and its consequences but is unable to rally his people to his revolutionary ideas. These two plays by Maryse Condé enable us to unravel not only two methods of resistance in response to the colonial historical phenomenon but more importantly the heterogenous resistance among colonized subjects. Drawing on Hamid Dabashi’s theoretical reflection, this article examines the epistemological and socio-discursive strategies employed by colonized subjects to construct their individual and collective identities and the possibility of overcoming the tendency to limit postcolonial identity to the polarity between the colonizer and the colonized.
