Abstract: | The present research “Political Dislocation in V.S. Naipaul’s The Suffrage of Elvira” made an attempt to analyze the novel from postcolonial perspective by taking different issues of postcolonialism such as postcolonial identity, hybridity, diaspora, language, ethnicity and religion into consideration. The novel exposes the dislocation, dispossession, and dilemma of the people in newly decolonized country, Trinidad. Basically it shows how democracy can be meaningless in the hand of corrupted leaders with their own vested interests. In the same way it shows that political independence may not be the independence of a colonized nation in a true sense. Furthermore, it shows that the only option for being successful for the people of newly decolonized nation is to imitate the colonizer. Though the setting of the Novel is a small country, Trinidad, the novel raises the issue of global significance that is the aftermath of colonization. |
