| dc.description.abstract | This paper intends to scrutinize the identity crisis faced by Black people while living in White society under the theoretical perspective of “hybridity” given by Homi K Bhabha. As recorded in history, Blacks were made to forget history, their motherland, traditions and identity under the imposition of colonization. This paper explores White man’s burden and Black man’s burden and how this inverse relation loaded the Black’s soul with immense trauma. The book Black Skin White Masks by Frantz Fanon excruciates the psychological, ideological, linguistic, sexual dilemmas along with Black man’s identity. The fragmented identity of Blacks is always been a rhetorical question which is unanswered throughout centuries. The question of identity haunt all aspects of social reality i.e. Black’s culture, religion, customs, traditions and language. This research tends to focus on Black community under hegemonic expression of Western philosophies and to concentrate what Black man actually wants. | |
