“I who am poisoned by the blood of both Where will I turn, divided to the core?” (27-28) Derek Walcott's poem “A Far Cry from Africa” deals with the poet's inability to resolve his hybrid heritage causing a conflict between his loyalties to Britain and his native Africa. Derek Walcott (1930-) born in St. Lucia, spent much of his life in Trinidad and was also the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1992. Belonging to both Anglo-European and Afro-Caribbean heritage, his duality of origin has given rise to a sort of identity crisis within himself. Most of his writings are painful and jarring depictions of ethnic conflict and divided loyalties that have earned him international fame for his works on human relationships. The intricate relationship between the colonized and the colonizer and the ways in which the Caribbean embraces itself and divides loyalties between different places are the central theme of Walcott's writings. Walcott studied the conflict between the heritage of European and West Indian culture, the long journey from slavery to independence, and his role as a nomad between these two cultures. These are the settlers who arrive in the region forcing the Kikuyu to abandon their tribal units. Walcott describes the scenario in which Europeans take control over farmland and government and allow natives to serve the white race of Europeans in their homeland. “A Far Cry from Africa” (1962) asks speakers a question about cultural identity against a backdrop of historical events. Exposing the intersection of cultures within the poet, this poem also highlights the "turbulent journey of a man trying to relate to his immediate schizophrenic reality of the post-colonial world and his state of hybridity" (You... ... half of the paper. .....de between cultures such as 'high-low'; 'civilized-uncivilized and so on', thus to anticipate more positive constructions of 'Hybridity'" (Thounaojam, 2012) in most of Walcott's writings, describes the relationship between the colonized and the colonizer and the ways in which African identity and the division between different places and loyalties are in search of history and identity and addresses the cultural clashes of two nations, Africa and Europe.The poem moves to the battlefield within the poet as he has a dual cultural heritage and finds it difficult to identify his true identity to which he belongs.Walcott breathes two different traditions in his poetry which wants to adopt the culture "civilized" of the English, but it also cannot excuse their immoral treatment of Africans.
