Samuel Selvon\u2019s literature lays emphasis on the development of a consciousness that moulds the entire issue of identity into a new shape. His literature comprises the story of West Indian immigrants in London and through his central characters, one can learn about Caribbeans\u2019 realities in England. The arrival of commonwealth subjects in England after World War II was considered, by the protagonists as well as other characters in Selvon\u2019s novel, as a possibility to form positive inter-racial relations to cope with the problems of decolonization, yet it signals the progressive failure of such possibility. His protagonists are subjected to cultural consciousness, existential struggle, crime, gender issues, love and hate, betrayal and death that lurk behind the city’s glimmer. Samuel Selvon outlines how their experiences and action influence the formation process of their identity and defines their behavior. This research paper endeavors to explore the cultural consciousness shared by Selvon\u2019s protagonists as well as the issue of gender identity<\/span> experienced by them, also aims to analyze the experience of exile commonly shared by Selvon\u2019s main characters.<\/span><\/p>

Research paper entitled Cultural Consciousness and Gender Identity in Moses Ascending and Moses Migrating emphasizes on issue of gender and culture identity in the select work of Samuel Selvon as cultural consciousness and identity is a part of a person\u2019s self-conception and self -perception and is related to nationality, religion, ethnicity, religion, social class etc..
