As people of the diaspora, most Black British writers have long been troubledand fascinated by the ideas of ‘home’ and ‘identity.’ A lot of their works present asense of not belonging anywhere and a quest for a new kind of identity not limitedto national boundaries. Such issues are portrayed most clearly in Buchi Emecheta’snovel, Kehinde, where the protagonist’s conception of ‘home’ and ‘identity’ is disruptedbetween Nigerian and British and how she ends up creating a new and morefluid identity for herself.

Abstract

The study is about a close look at Conrads trans-racial romance related to the Victorian period. Trans-racial love between white men and non-white women becomes a popular theme in the early works of Josep Conrad, a famous writer of the late Victorian period. Using a closely technical reading in the three of Conrads works Lord Jim, Almayers Folly, and An Outcast of the Island, we can show that such a trans-racial romance is not merely meant for appreciating equivalence. In turn, the trans-racial romance of Conrads can be understood as the reflection of the Western colonization on the East where the white men take a role as subjects who had dominately explored while the non-white women as objects who are passively being explored.Key words: colonization, race, romance plot, subject, object, and dominance
