Abstract
Modern English literature offers a profound exploration of power dynamics through diverse narratives, highlighting the struggles and resilience of marginalized groups. Authors like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Zadie Smith, and Salman Rushdie dissect societal imbalances and advocate for social justice through their works. From postcolonial critiques to feminist perspectives, literature interrogates power structures across race, gender, class, and other intersecting identities. Through nuanced exploration and metafictional techniques, authors challenge dominant narratives and amplify marginalized voices. Modern English literature serves as a catalyst for critical reflection, inviting readers to confront systemic inequalities and envision a more equitable world.
