المستخلص: This dissertation explores the Caribbean self as a colonized one that suffers due to the diaspora and trauma caused by colonialism. The dissertation focuses mainly on selected works by V. S. Naipaul and Caryl Phillips, who are prolific Caribbean writers. It locates the two writers in the purview of post colonialism and the literary canon at large. This dissertation provide valuable insight into the intricate concept of the "self," as the structural frame that encompasses diaspora and trauma. It is divided into six chapters that investigate the dilemma of the Caribbean self after decolonization. It also portrays the different visions that Naipaul and Phillips have about the colonized. The question of whether the colonized people are victims of colonialism, or that they are to be blamed as being part of their own predicament, is a key question that is investigated through juxtaposing Naipaul's and Philips's views. Problematic issues, such as language and trauma, psychological diaspora and belonging, the use of hegemonic or indigenous languages and representation are significant issues that are discussed in this dissertation through a theoretical, analytical and comparative investigations of the works of Naipaul and Phillips.
