The Aspects Of Cultural Hybridity In The Shadow Lines And Season Of Migration To The North

Abstract

The issue of identity is one of the most crucial topics that has aroused debate and interest in post-colonial societies. Post-colonial thinkers and writers reread colonial literature to resist the colonial representations of the colonized people and cultures. Hence, it helped native people restore their identities away from the hybrid contaminated ones that resulted from being in contact with the colonizers. This study follows a qualitative descriptive approach to analyze Tayeb Salih’s (1929-2009) Season of Migration to the North (1969) and Amitav Ghosh’s (1956) The Shadow Lines (1988), which contribute to investigating the problem of hybrid identity culture and to examining the possibility of using hybridity as a key to cross-cultural relationships.
