الملخص الإنجليزي

The present study seeks to explore the fiction of the contemporary British- American-Pakistani novelist, Kamila Shamsie, (b.1973), in particular her novel, Burnt Shadows (2009).

The study also shed light on the post Colonial aspects of the novel by tackling this Pakistani novelist who lived the Partition under the military rule.

The researcher analyzes the novel in terms of a post colonial angle.

However, the researcher finds that it is an important example of the "empire writing back", made all the more powerful as it is written in the "Centre" for the "Centre".

Shamsie by picturing Hiroko, a woman character, implicitly alluded to the west policies towards the east.

In tackling Hiroshima bomb, the Partition of the sub-continent, 11 September 2001, Guantanamo Bay and how the Muslim prisoners suffer.

The researcher also finds that the Empire is for the west.

This is what Shamsie tries to tell, the west responsibility for the east suffering.

Due to the great scope of this novel, the researcher finds it apt to divide the study into chapters.

The first chapter is introductory in that it gives the cultural, political and social background of the novel and its writer.

It also presents the questions of the study, objectives and statement of the problem.

Chapter Two is about the review of related literature, both theoretical and empirical.

The third one is about the methodology and procedures used in the study.

Chapter four is the core of the study in that it gives a detailed analysis of this novel, characterization, topics and the political events surrounding the life of the female character.

Chapter five is the conclusion where the main items are summarized and highlighted.

It also answers the questions of the study.
