Abstract
This article examines the intersection of postcolonial identity and intergenerational trauma in August Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean. This study draws on Homi Bhabha’s postcolonial theory and Mark Wolynn’s work on inherited family trauma as its main theories. It examines how memory, displacement, and inherited scars of slavery continue to shape characters who never personally experienced slavery or the Middle Passage but still carry the psychological and emotional consequences. Hybridity, ambivalence, and third space, as conceptualized by Bhabha, provide a framework for examining the in-betweenness of the characters in Wilson’s play. The focus on inherited trauma connects the characters to their ancestral pain. In the process, there are intermediaries that lead the characters to confront the past, reclaim their history, and move toward self-discovery. By staging these experiences, Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean demonstrates how trauma, which is rooted in slavery and systemic racism, persists across generations through postcolonial behaviors. Only by facing the wounds of the past can the characters heal and integrate memory into postcolonial identity. This process can be explained by combining Wolynn’s ideas on confronting trauma with Bhabha’s theorization of identity negotiation in liminal spaces.
