This work deals with the strategic place that travellers occupy in the construction of a Caribbean identity deployed in Derek Walcott´s poetic in essays such as “The Antilles: Fragments Of An Epic Memory” 1992), “The Caribbean: Culture or Mimicry?” (1974) and in a few narrative poems by Walcott. The article considers singularity as a value on account of differences between natives and travellers as well as in the commentary on Robinson Crusoe as a figure. In order to describe the affirmation of the local in opposition to the Eurocentric imaginaries constructed by James Anthony Froude during the 19th century, which has been continued by Vidia Naipaul in more recent times, the emergence of a decolonial response is also characterized.
