Abstract
Caryl Phillips is a prodigious writer, whose writings reflect the cultural dynamics and its ramifications in a colonized context. He attempts to unravel the diasporic experiences of the black people in Africa, Caribbean islands and England. The author through his novel The Final Passage articulates the life experiences of a young girl, who was tossed up in a world of conflict of cultural infliction. The article attempts to narrate and offer exegesis on the bane that the young girl Leila encounters in Caribbean and England context. It exposes the myopic nature of the dominant white community and her own black family background. It offers a soulful rendition to the predicaments she faces due to ambivalent identity, racial disparity.
