Özet:

This thesis attempts to examine the issue of Othering and the possibility of embracing the Other as represented in Chris Cleave’s novels Incendiary, Little Bee and Everyone Brave Is Forgiven. These novels were chosen for this study because they all contain examples of characters and plots that are relatable to the issue of Othering. The novels show that the self is socially and thus artificially identified in its function within and through a labeling system which creates differential categories of race, class, and gender. In Cleave’s novels, the relation of the self to the Other takes place within, and is organized along, these power relations of race, class and gender. More to the point, Incendiary, Little Bee and Everyone Brave Is Forgiven confront the politics of the formation of the self which cause the making of the Other—the non-Western, the female, the poor, all of which have turned into stable concerns within society.
