Résumé | Abstract

This paper analyses a protagonist’s life whose membership inside his family seems to call in question his genuine identity for he is a foster child. This one is stigmatised because of his skin colour and hardly achieves to blossom within society. The goal is to depict the identity crisis experienced by him, how that identity crisis impacted his familial and social integration, and finally how immigration imposed itself to this afro-English boy as solution to clear away all doubts about his personality. With Postcolonial criticism, a deep analysis of foster children’s identity issue in the context of immigration is achieved through the concepts of Adopt, Adapt, and Adept to examine hybridity and cultural polyvalency of the protagonist. Immigration provided a mixed outcome and led to realize the acceptance of the protagonist current identity
