Abstract

“Bogart” is one of the short stories in the collection Miguel Street by V.S. Naipul. The World War II Trinidad and Tobago Caribbean society depicted in these short stories is still grappling with self-identity issues but show a great leaning towards the American Popular Culture in many spheres of their existence and interaction. America is seen as a trend and pacesetter for the world and especially the society of Miguel Street, the setting of the stories. This paper seeks to establish and critically evaluate the influence of the American Popular Culture on the Miguel street society and specifically on the story “Bogart”.
