Abstract
The postcolonial discourse addresses the domination of foreigners over Asian and African countries and illustrate how the west colonized and impressed them. One of the most outstanding theorists of postcolonial criticism is Edward Said, who Orientalism addresses differences between East and West and particularly how the latter portrays the former. It holds a particular point in postcolonial studies as it discloses how the west imposes unrealistic images on the east. Natalia Rashid is one of the contemporary Egyptian writer who refers to Gamal Abdel Nasser who described the history of Egypt during British colonialism, in Hakait Kieffah an Decolonisation. This study examines Hakait Kieffah an Decolonisation based on Edward Said’s ideas. It particularly studies the role of disloyalty in the establishment of colonialism and the despicable view of British colonialism of Egyptian people. The disloyalty of Egyptians is directly related to the colonization of their country, and its people always lived in terror caused by colonization and were forced to migrate from their homeland.
