| Abstract | ||
| This paper aims at examining the real and unreal realm of the Afro-American writer, Gloria Naylor, in her two novels: Mama Day and The Men of Brewster Place. The study sheds light on Naylor's treatment of the concept of "Magical Realism" as a literary device used in the Afro-American fiction. It focuses on Naylor's employment of magical realism throughout some fictional tools such as narrative structure, mysterious male and female characters, magical setting, and other thematic notions of the black heritage and folklore. | ||
