This paper aims at locating the significance of Trinidadian Creole in the literary works of Kevin Jared Hosein. Trinidadian Creole, a language rooted in the history of colonisation and slavery, serves as a medium through which Mr. Hosein resonates the themes of identity, resistance, and cultural hybridity. Considering postcolonial theories, including those of Homi K. Bhabha and Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, this study inspects how Hosein's use of Trinidadian Creole challenges the dominant linguistic hierarchies and disturbs the colonial power structures. Through close textual analysis of selected works, such as the “Passage” and “Hiranyagarbha,” this research examines how Trinidadian Creole remaps the Caribbean stories confronting the grand narratives and European universals.
