        abstract = {This paper explores the use of magic realism as a literary device in both Latin American and African literature, examining how it reflects cultural, political, and historical realities unique to each region. While Latin American magic realism, notably represented by authors such as Gabriel García Márquez and Isabel Allende, often blends the mystical with the everyday to critique colonialism and explore identity, African writers like Ben Okri and Amos Tutuola use the genre to navigate postcolonial struggles, spirituality, and social complexities. "Through a comparative lens, this study highlights the similarities and distinctions in the use of magic realism across these two literatures, analyzing the cultural significance of supernatural elements within real-world settings.''},
