Hybridity in Kamala Markandaya’s “Possession”

Summary/Abstract: As a study of the meaning and different aspects of the notion of “hybridity” in postcolonial writing, this paper concentrates on Kamala Markandaya’s novel – Possession. Within the theoretical frame of cultural and postcolonial studies dealing with issues of identity, race, sex, culture, class, language, and power relations, as affected by hybridity, I have particularly elaborated on the relation between hybridity and identity, hybridity and difference, hybridity and desire, and, finally, hybridity and language, as depicted in Markandaya’s novel.
