In his short story, Samuel Selvon stays true to his people. He illustrates their ways of thinking and how difficult it was for them to accept colonization. He is a Caribbean writer because he lived what these people lived. The only element that is hard to believe is the power he gives to the women in his short story. This power reflects a movement of feminism, which is a new movement in the current society. Is it truly power or is it only a way to survive? How can women survive in this story if the men don’t have money? It is only an illusion of power because women still depend on men to survive. Finally, Samuel Selvon is an excellent example of a writer that feels dislocated. With his character, Brackley, the author managed to illustrate how people don’t feel at home even when they are. Brackley lost his bed when Teena moved in and since then, he isn’t himself and his life will never be the same. This truly reflects the way people feel after been colonized. They loose their homes, their language and some of their customs. The authors of the post-colonial period have the right to denounce these injustices. They have the right to express their anger and their feelings of lost of identity. These writers represent hope. They are challenging indirectly the political system and they are being heard across the world. They have the power. The literary works that they leave behind them are always going to be there to help people understand what the people have lived and why they have moved out of their countries.
