Book Description:

The concept of hybridity allows identities and cultures to be conceptualized as different and manifold, allowing for the undermining of the binaries of self and other, centre and periphery, colonizer and colonized. This study provides a timely discussion of hybridity, examining it in the context of the Mauritian society depicted by Ananda Devi.
