One of the most prolific writers exploring the issue of travel and its ramifications today is playwright, novelist, and essayist, Caryl Phillips. Born in St. Kitts, British Virgin Islands on March 13, 1958, Phillips grew up in Leeds, Yorkshire, England where his family moved when he was only four months old. Phillips's substantial body of work mines his own experiences as an African diasporic person and of other diasporic and migrant communities in England, the United States, and the Caribbean in order to explore the on-going, far-reaching effects of those experiences on diasporic people's constructs of themselves and their place in the world around them. Because Phillips's lived experiences, his ancestry, as well as his art, crisscrosses the trans-Atlantic slave routes, Phillips is classified as a black Atlantic writer for this study.

520 $a One of the most prolific writers exploring the issue of travel and its ramifications today is playwright, novelist, and essayist, Caryl Phillips. Born in St. Kitts, British Virgin Islands on March 13, 1958, Phillips grew up in Leeds, Yorkshire, England where his family moved when he was only four months old. Phillips's substantial body of work mines his own experiences as an African diasporic person and of other diasporic and migrant communities in England, the United States, and the Caribbean in order to explore the on-going, far-reaching effects of those experiences on diasporic people's constructs of themselves and their place in the world around them. Because Phillips's lived experiences, his ancestry, as well as his art, crisscrosses the trans-Atlantic slave routes, Phillips is classified as a black Atlantic writer for this study.
520 $a This study adds to the body of literature that examines the Other by investigating the types of stress responders Caryl Phillips employs in The European Tribe and The Atlantic Sound to reveal how those instances of Othering extend the contact zone perspective as Mary Louise Pratt envisions it. This examination additionally demonstrates that Phillips's two travel texts are at odds with colonial discourse of eighteenth-century European travel texts that allude to the unequivocal merit of transculturated Western values and culture for native (marginal) populations. These ideas are often portrayed in the tragic personas of the period narratives related in italic>The Atlantic Sound and the discontent and poverty of the postcolonial circumstance of migrants and guest workers depicted The European Tribe. The European Tribe and The Atlantic Sound begin as revisionary texts of European discourse in their inversion and blurring of the subject/object binary---in that Phillips, from his marginal position, has become the middle-class Englishman who sets out to see the world. In the eighteenth- century, adventurers ventured to less known places, like Africa as in The Atlantic Sound, or affluent men opted to experience the culture of Europe through the aristocratic journey of The Grand Tour, as Phillips does in The European Tribe. .
520 $a This study analyzes Phillips's travel narratives, The European Tribe and The Atlantic Sound . The European Tribe and The Atlantic Sound---as travel texts predicated on interaction with the Other---where Othering is evident within contact zones---manifest a number of textual stress responders as narrative strategies that fortify the cosmopolitan nonessentialist identity of the narrator. In these texts, stress responders are discursive practices used to protect historical and contemporary plural identities of both narrator and characters. The stress responders---fight, flight, freeze, and affinity---function as textual coping devices that ultimately unveil the narrator's anxiety due to the threat of his unique identity being compromised in contact zone representations of Othering, which have been historically used to posit a "`racialized regime of representation.'" In reading contact zone Othering in this way, this dissertation suggests a reading of the anxiety embedded in representations of Othering frequently located in the travel writing of the black diaspora.
