Özet:

 


This paper investigates the resistance of immigrants to cultural
dominance of London society in The Lonely Londoners a postcolonial novel by Sam
Selvon. The Lonely Londoners (1956) depicts the miserable life of Caribbean
people who migrated in hope to find better conditions of living than their
countries. The paper furnishes a theoretic ground for analyzing the discourse
of the novel related to the way the novel presented an important subject which
is resisting dominant culture throughout events and language that is used by
the novelist. The paradigm of immigrants and their trauma and shock have always
been the spot line of discussion after WWII. Through the colonial history there
was a dominant discourse of Western cultural superiority imposed on colonized,
with the postcolonial era a different discourse emerged through intellectual
presentations such as Fanon, Said, Bhabha ideas and others who enlightened
literary theory and criticism and theorized resistance and cultural identity.
Thus, this paper will analyze critically the discourse of resistance of
Postcolonial people in exile to ascertain their existence and identity.
