Cultural Resilience And Ecological Continuity: Exploring Displacement In Silko’s Gardens In The Dunes

Résumé: Leslie Marmon Silko's Gardens in the Dunes masterfully explores displacement, travel, and mobility within various settings and cultures in late 19th-century America. The novel addresses how colonialism impacted indigenous people and how migration shaped individual and collective identities. Silko deftly illustrates the struggle with self-perception in the face of colonial displacement, highlighting the resilience and adaptability of indigenous cultures. This study examines Silko's narrative strategies, particularly how she addresses broader socioeconomic issues through the novel's exploration of migration, travel, and displacement. By employing postcolonial and ecological frameworks, this analysis seeks to elucidate the complex relationships between mobility, culture, and identity in the novel, thereby enhancing its relevance in contemporary literary discourse.
