The duality of center and margin in the novel (At Amsterdam Station) by Qusay Subhi A post-colonial study

Abstract

The two terms (center-margin) are linked by a symbiotic relationship, as the existence of one is dependent on the existence of the other. Every margin has a center that follows it, and every center has a margin that dominates it. Because colonial policies are domination, crushing and destruction, the post-colonial discourse proposed rising from dependency and rewriting history. The margin must undermine the center's discourse in order to rise on its own. From here, the basic question about the debate between the center and the margin began. The research seeks to reveal the relationship between the center and the margin in the novel (At Amsterdam Station) by the novelist Qass Subhi according to the post-colonial theory, as the novel focused on how to deal with and look at the other.
