dc.description.abstract | This present dissertation deals with diasporic dislocation of 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, which ultimately marginalizes blacks pushing them to periphery. Naipaul, being a postcolonial writer, sees the necessity of black racial identity. Jimmy and other black natives get traumatized owing to feel trauma, created by dislocation. Because of extreme domination, they vow to start revolution against whites for their own country. | en_US |
