This paper deals with the problems of representation and hegemony embodied within the idea of modernity by means of an approach that looks at the post-modern character of the post-colonial novel as a means to resist this unfair representation, and as an alternative discourse to European modernity and its colonialist traditions. The study is applied to the text and discourse(s) of the novel Season of Migration to the North and compares it to the philosophy and propositions of the post-modern trend. It concludes by demarking two central features that redefine the post-colonial novel.
