Abstract
Today, postcolonialism is an important discipline in cultural and literary studies.The present study deals with the history and culture of the Caribbean in the postcolonial context. Despite the physical isolation and colonization, de-colonization, displacement, slavery and emancipation, Caribbean society leads to the emergence of new world, new ethnicity (Stuart Hall), national culture and literary identity. In the postcolonial Caribbean, identity is considered as multi-dimensional or pluralistic. Identity is never fixed or static; it is fluid and always in process (Stuart Hall, 110). The identity in the postcolonial Caribbean has become cultural homogenization, hybridity and creolization.This article makes an attempt to study the process of Creolization and historical background of postcolonial Caribbean society. The concept of Creolization in the Caribbean context is a social process that lies at the very centre of discussion of transculturalism, transnationalism, multiculturalism, diversity, and hybridization (Young, Robert). In this article an attempt has been made to locate the âhybrid and creole identity in the postcolonial Caribbean and in Selvons novel A Brighter Sun.
