VS Naipaul’s The Mimic Men; Degeneration of Values

Öz

Colonization has been an exploitative trend that has dominated some parts of the world for several centuries. It is common for the colonizer state to impose economic and political pressure on the colonized state, as well as pressure on the religion, language, and culture of that society in question. V. S. Naipaul is a Trinidadian writer whose country has been colonized for centuries. In this framework, his works frequently mirror the colonial and postcolonial periods. The Mimic Men is an important work in terms of witnessing both the colonial and postcolonial periods. The semi-autobiographical life of Ralph Singh, the protagonist of the story, takes place in the fictional island of Isabella. With Singh's grandparents being indentured servants who migrated to Isabella from India and the island being in the Caribbean, it has a lot in common with Naipaul's actual life. As a result of living detached from their traditional values, societies that have been colonized for a long time have had their religion, language, and culture distorted, as well as failing to build a healthy character. This study aims to focus on the value corruption caused by the colonial process in the novel.
