vi SUMMARY Putri Irma Puspita Sugianto. 2018. Negotiating Identity Reflected in A Far Cry From Africa A Poem By Derek Walcott. Thesis Department of English Faculty of Letters Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisors Dr. M. Misbahul Amri M.A. and Inayatul Fariha S.S. M.A. Keywords Identity Negotiating Identity Liminality Mimicry Hybridized A Far Cry From Africa Identity plays a significant role in shaping someone s world. In the post-colonial era the hybridized generation had to decide one culture as the identity even though they had two or more inheritance identities. This study aims at finding the solution of the character s crisis identity which is reflected in the poem A Far Cry from Africa . The writer uses the theory of identity post-colonial identity and cultural identity to be able to cope with the main topic of this study. We also need the theory of mimicry and liminality to understand the unique solution of identity crisis. Thus the identity crisis that reflects in this poem and the resolution of the character s identity become the focus of this study. The data source uses a poem A Far Cry from Africa that was published in 1964 the Studies in African and Carribean Literature by Edward Baugh in 2006 and compilation of Interview Session with Derek Walcott by several writers. The study of identity post-colonial identity mimicry and liminality theory will help other critics literature teachers students and reader to cope with the problem of crisis identity in this poem. The result of the study shows that the main speaker who Derek Walcott himself finds it difficult to choose one identity as his cultural identity. He tries to distinguish certain character of the particular identity yet in the end he has to choose to one identity for some reasons. Moreover according to the Walcott s life story this poem clearly reflects his actual situation feeling and decision in reality. However there are some benefits and consequences that he has to face according to his decision. In this study I analyze the way theory of identity works in the form of poem. Thus I am able to find several lines that have not been criticized by other critics that conduct the solution of his identity crisis. These arguments are supported by the biography books of Derek Walcott as strong and undeniable evidence. Then I attempt to find Walcott s personal reasons that reflects both in his poem and his biography.
