The given paper will examine the Diasporic Displacement, Migration and Identity as a crucial theme in two novels of Antiguan-American female novelist Jamaica Kincaid. It will explore how the experiences of displacement are totally different for the woman of colour who belongs from a colonial country. The search of relevance, relativity and familiarization is a social as well as psychological need of human and the subjugation of people because of their ethnicity has been a continuous process from generations. The study will foreground and analyse the protagonist of Jamaica Kincaid novels Annie John (1985) and Lucy (1990) protagonists leave their Antiguan homeland and face the cultural marginalisation of the Caribbean diaspora focusing on their struggles for their fabricated and sociopolitical identity because of their race and gender. This research will make an inquiry how Jamaica Kincaid portrays the psychological and emotional complexities of diasporic individuals especially women who experience displacement due to colonial atrocities ,forced migration, or voluntary exile. Through her semi-autobiographical characters, her own insights and ideas Kincaid delves into how migration disable the personal and cultural identity, creating tension between the self and the "other," the homeland and the host land, the colonizer and the colonized.
