| dc.description.abstract | This research attempts to explore the representation of the sense of belonging in V.S Naipaul's works. V.S Naipaul has emerged as the most significant contemporary english novelist, his status reaffirmed by the 2001 Noble Prize for literature. This study aims to investigate the postcoloniality of V.S. Naipaul. As an exile from trinidad, Naipaul's main concern as a novelist is to project carefully the complex fortune of individuals in a multicultural community. However it appears that he is a controversial writer, he is blamed and even hated for having no loyalty to his culture, and for showing no sympathy for the oppressed. Through The Mimic Men, I will trace how Naipaul's work dealt with a man's curve to belong, in addition to the complexities of constructing an identity, complexity of colonial dilemma, sense of alienation, an dislocation, among other devices reflected in the aforementioned novel, I will argue that while he is likely to be blamed for having no loyalty for his culture and that he is not considered as a postcolonial writer, he plays an important role in the postcolonial writings, and that his novels have beautifully described colonial and ex-colonial societies, and that he has an urge to express his fluid, various and unstable identities in terms of his unique postcolonial cultural perspectives. | ar |
