This essay is an examination of Nnedi Okorafor’s Who Fears Death (2010). The problematic that holds the discussion concerns the use of magical realism as a literary aesthetic for the construction of a discourse of rehabilitation of the postcolonial society. Accordingly, the essay resorts to the postcolonial theory with a particular emphasis on the concept of “subaltern” coined by the Indian postcolonial feminist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. The argument helps to show that magical realism is used as a transgressive narrative technique to break the colonial discourse and its politics of silencing the voice of the colonized. The outcome of the discussion is that magical realism is an efficient way to overturning subalternity by allowing the colonized to tell his own story, subverting proportionally the colonizer’s voice.
