The Caribbean region is a place of diasporas who were came from their nations in Europe, Africa, and Asia by European colonial/imperial history, and had undergone the racial conflicts. This thesis aims at studying for racial conflict and reconciliation among Caribbean diasporas in Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea and Jamaica Kincaid's The Autobiography of My Mother. I will analyze the racial conflict between Antoinett, a white creole, and Tia, a black girl, and then research the possibility of reconciliation with regaining Antoinett's identity as a Caribbean diaspora. In Kincaid's The Autobiography of My Mother, I will analyze the racial conflicts among the African, the European and the Caribbean descendants and then research a solution to the conflict. In Wide Sargasso Sea, Antoinette percepts her real identity as a Caribbean diaspora through exclusion by her husband/white colonizer and then gets a reconciliation with Tia. Xuela, in The Autobiography of My Mother, percepts her real identity as a Caribbean diaspora through abortion Mr. LaBatte's baby as a colonial successor and then solves the racial conflict through accepting the inevitable death.
