article focuses on the influence of the colonialism and how such forces are reflected
in the modern Kurdish novel. It becomes apparent that such forces are yet at a
great work in the regions inhabited by the Kurds in the region of Middle East.
Furthermore, this study considers how sophisticated means are being used <span>physically </span>, culturally, and economically as an
ongoing process where people have <span>been deprived </span>
of stability, prosperity <span>and </span> peace. In
concluding remarks, it becomes evident that the impact of colonialism, has
influenced people on four levels: First, the internal displacement, mostly
reflected in Gharbi Mustafa’s first two novels. Secondly, The Inner
psychological conflict, this experience is reflected in Ismet Badal’s novel <i>Dawiya
Şervanekî </i>. Thirdly, man’s quest for traditions which is mostly reflected in
Yashar Kemal’s novel <i>The Pomegranate Tree </i>. These factors have triggered
a response to the dominant narrative in the form of novels. </span> </p>}, number={2}
