In the modern world with the increase of immigrant numbers, mixture nations, and constitution of countries with different cultural multiplicity, the question of identity came to the surface.
The research will discuss the issue of identity in former colonized countries and immigrants from these countries who suffered from facing the diasporas and the dilemma of the difficulty to construct their identity. The paper will investigate postcolonial novelist, especially in former British colonies, El Tayeb Salih. As an academic disciplined theorists considered the issue of identity as one of the essential legacy of colonialism and imperialism, the novelist also exposed and expressed the conditions of identity crises that emerged in postcolonial period.
