In this thesis, the novel "Love, fantasy" from Assia Djebar will be analysed as a work of postcolonial literature, because we can recognise certain features in it that are, among others, mentioned and described in the works of postcolonial theoreticians. Roughly, those features in the novel can be defined as: the critique of and an attempt to reform the historiography which represents the period of colonisation, the problematisation of use of the coloniser's language and the division between two languages and cultures (or more), and, lastly, a feminist critique of the historiography and an attempt of restoration of women's characters as autonomous historical subjects.
