Speculative fiction has been a genre that is traditionally seen as a Western endeavor, reinforcing colonial ideas since its appearing. On the other hand, magical realism is a mode of writing commonly understood as subversive and decolonial. This study tries to understand the work of magical realism or even sacred realism within speculative fiction, especially as it relates to modes of decolonization. In a movement towards feminist decolonization, magical realism works through the speculative trope of physical transformation within Octavia Butler’s Kindred and Toni Morrison´s Beloved. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, magical realism works in these texts as a method of subverting the Western gaze and questioning assumptions pertaining to Western history and science. Notwithstanding, one particular trait of this analysis is the case of teletransportation in both novels by two African-American writers.Due to the specific writing of these women as Black writers, could one say that this supernatural phenomena occurs in both works as magical realism, sacred realism, or black enchantment?
