History through the pages of literature: A displacement theory in the post-colonial era

Abstract

This thesis will focus on Displacement theory in the Post-colonial era. Through this paper I tried to bring forward the struggles and challenges faced by POC in the era after colonization. This includes, displacement in culture, different perspective of displacement, positive scopes for literature due to displacement etc. In my thesis I used “Forest Echoes” a poetry book by Nol Alembong I used this to examine the African American perspective on the theory. Along with that I used the novel, Annie John written by Jamaica Kincaid to capture the coming of age aspects of this theory
