The earth being a Palimpsest tablet encompasses different layers of history and cultures in terms of architecture. The current study aims to highlight the importance of utilizing the principles of palimpsests which allow the communication of ideas of landscapes while also complementing the existing surroundings in China Mieville's The City and The City. The study through qualitative analysis identifies how the layers of architecture in the city of Ul Qoma and Bezel are represented in quite a subtle and minimalistic way. These layers are not just limited to geological constructions, rather they encompass endless transformations and modifications in the past as well as the present. The cities represented in the novel have an urban structure, which evolved over a certain period through the overlapping of ideas, experiences, and values from different historical eras.

Colonialism led to the fabrication of certain inferiority complexes on the part of the colonized subjects.The colonizers succeeded in doing so through the inclusive diffusion of racial stereotypes. This perpetuation made colonized nations like Native Americans lose their indigenous voices, and they soon assimilated themselves into the Euro-American world and its identities. The articles crutinises how the colonized subjects were not only physically persecuted, but their identities were also distorted, disfigured, and then misrepresented to the world. The colonisers shaped and sculpted these identities through an exploitive mechanism which Franz Fanontermed 'Epidermalization' in one of his famous works,Black Skin White Masks. The paper employs the conceptualization of Epidermalization with reference to' The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven' by Sherman Alexie. While using the concepts of Epidermalization of inferiority and internalization, the paper highlights how the continuous confrontation of binaries and inferiority during the process of Colonialism caused a heightened sense of desperation and frustration among the Native Americans along with the internalization of white supremacy.
