摘要：The aim of this research paper is to primarily focus on the concept of ‘Exotic Otherness’ in Kamila Shamsie’s novel Burnt Shadows. The research questions have further addressed the multiple displacements, which the main characters face in the novel and the suffering of exotic otherness associated with this displacement. This exotic otherness and displacement have become even worse when linked with the gigantic historical and horrible event of World War 1, which has led to the dropping of atomic bomb on Nagasaki, and a never ending The War on Terror was the catalyst for the destruction of American's twin towers. Shamsie has spanned her novel over fifty years with the displacement and its affects in World War I1, in Partition of India, and then in 1986 Pakistan that further compelled the main character Hiroko to be other and displaced from her home Pakistan to USA. This research also looks at Frantz Fanon’s literary theory of Exotic Otherness, which follows European colonialism across the globe, its ramifications on a variety of features of colonized people's lives, as well as depictions of colonized people's lives in Western literary and intellectual history. The research has been descriptive and is based on the text of the novel. This research paper has summed up that Kamila Shamsie has described the concept of exotic otherness that has been directly associated with the main historical events that has become all the more traumatic and tragic when linked with the lives of the individuals who have become the victims of that exotic otherness and displacement as well.
