المستخلص: This article falls into the field of „post-colonialism‟. The act of „challenging the center‟ refers to an act of liberation from colonial power in relation to three elements: language, history, and text. The focus of the article is the third act of liberation, i.e. the canonical counter-discourse, the re-writing of the canonical stories of the classics of English literature. The study deals with the approach of „challenging the canon‟ and how far it is useful in the post-colonial context. It illustrates this act of challenge with a detailed analysis of how the well-known Arabic novel, Season of Migration to the North (by the Sudanese writer Tayeb Saleh) challenges the English canonical text, Joseph Conrad‟s Heart of Darkness via the following five strategies: questioning stereotypes; projecting colonization as an infecting disease; reversing the sense of superiority; challenging European imperialist economy; and reversing the elements of horror and madness (as a gothic fiction). The article concludes with a note of caution that the act of„ challenge‟ may not necessarily result in an endless cycle of stereotypical defence and attack; it can be a “move forward” as it engages in opening ground for future discussion. The researcher argues here that perhaps we should „write back‟ to ourselves, giving much more weight to the problems and authors of our own culture, emphasizing that things fall apart in any society only when that society seeks relief outside its own tradition.
