| Sumario: | The present study aims at examining the narrative technique of multiple perspectives employed as a political tool in the rewritings: Season of Migration to the North, Wide Sargasso Sea, and Unmarriageable to amplify the voices of the oppressed and eventually to transform the discourse of postcolonial identity and agency. Drawing on Edward Said's (1993) concept of contrapuntal reading, these rewritings engage with the western literary canon and reclaim their lost histories while confronting the forces of imperialism. Through techniques such as fragmentation, multiple perspectives, and narrative ingenuity, the texts critique the biases of the Western canon and assert alternative modes of cultural resistance. The findings of the study demonstrate that the rewritings show how literature, through postcolonial approaches, can help decolonize culture, rewrite history, and promote a more diverse understanding of identity, language, and belonging.
