Abstract: A man without identity is nothing in this world. Identity gives human a sense of belongingness. A person suppressed by others in the name of racial discrimination may feel inferior. This inferiority complex leads him to dig his history and know his originality. The people of the colonized land may undergo this kind of complexity. Their complexity makes them either to keep away from the society or hide their originality. A person feeling inferior may at a certain point protest and stabilizes his/her identity. Black writers from various colonized places express their emotions and feelings through various stories in writing.
