Abstract:
People of colour are often expected to meet externally determined standards of whiteness in exchange for privileges and benefits. The specific details regarding how those standards are determined vary based on context and depend on a variety of socio-historical factors. Regardless of the context, meeting these standards typically requires rejection of indigenous ways of being in favour of foreign ideals. Colorism, which is discrimination based on skin tone, plays a significant role in determining the success of attempts at assimilation because of the long history of preferential treatment asso

This essay investigates Jamaica Kincaid´s the book Annie John (1985) and its protagonist Annie John´s search for a coherent self-and/or a de-colonized identity through a subject transformation. Using postcolonial feminism, including theorists such as Homi K. Bhabha and Stuart Hall, I suggest that the protagonist Annie John does not perform a subject transformation as she is unable to embrace the state of hybridity needed to perform such a transformation. Annie John is a colonial subject drawn to the two worlds in which she resided, the East and West- and cannot create herself in the presence o

This thesis focuses on the articulation of political resistance in contemporary fiction by Caribbean women writers and, by using a dialogic approach to reading selected texts, theorises the difference that gender makes in the representation of these dominant themes. Representations of political resistance and transformation in novels by Merle Collins, Zee Edgell, Brenda Flanagan and Erna Brodber are examined in the context of an analysis of Caribbean fiction by male and female writers, which spans a seventy-year period.

The purpose of this dissertation is to understand the mixed legacy of shame.

Essentially, my dissertation will argue that although debilitative shame seems overwhelmingly negative for the female characters, gradually they come to reass
