The paper begins with short introduction of the book Dreams from My Father connecting it with the research topic ‘History from Below’and digs out the context in which the book was written. Then the study attempts to analyse how Obama has finely experienced the same level of prejudice as his father and forefathersand it also attempts how his experiences of racial prejudice can also be counted under collective experience of people from margin. The paper explains how Obama’s autobiography gets meaning as part of the larger black community’s story in white dominated society that dominates black people’s history and its racial past.The writer’s motive behind recollecting his racial past in the memoir is actually an attempt to investigate his inheritance and the history of deeply grounded racial prejudice in America.

All the black characters feel dislocated because they are kept in margin and even not given human rights. They are taken as play things at the hands of the whites. This dissertation particularly deals with diasporic dislocation which causes cultural crisis and alienation in V.S. Naipaul’s Guerrillas. This study includes the basic elements of dislocation, social identity, hybridity, mimicry, cultural study, marginality of the black. Jimmy, the representative figure of whole black race, faces racial dislocation in his own land and in England, too. White people consider blacks to be inferior and non-human, and this ultimately marginalizes blacks pushing them to periphery. Their originality has been lost because of the domination of the so called supreme or dominant culture imposed by the whites during the period of colonization. Since they were physically, mentally and psychologically marginalized in their own land, culture and rights, they felt loss of cultural crisis and alienated in their own space. Jimmy and other black natives see the necessity of black racial identity. Because of extreme domination, they vow to start revolution against whites.
