| Abstract | ||||
| This study examines the “green postcolonial citizen” as one of the major terms in the postcolonial eco critical studies. The unique citizenship which is created by this citizen is the pursuit of each postcolonial citizen who aspires to be embraced as a real citizen in his\her new home in the nation state. Committing to the green bonds which naturally embrace the different citizens who inhabit one society, instead of only clinging to the ethnic roots, enables the postcolonial citizen who is categorized as an outsider to be incorporated to a new home as a citizen. The green plants which are part of the indeterminate eco system, and which every human eats, or drinks, and generally consumes allow those who are called outsiders, or strangers in the host society to become real citizens. This is what Rohina Malik (1986- ), the American playwright proved to her audience in her one act play Unveiled ( 2009 ). | ||||
