Challenging the claim that hybridity provides a site of resistance to hegemonic and homogenizing forces in an increasingly globalized world, Anjali Prabhu pursues the ways in which hybridity plays out in the Creole, postcolonial societies of Mauritius and La Réunion, two small islands in the Indian Ocean, and offers an introduction to the literature and culture of this lesser-known region of Francophonie. She also reconsiders two major theorists from the Francophone context, Edouard Glissant and Frantz Fanon, through a provocatively Marxian framing that reveals these two writers shared more in common about agency and society than has previously been recognized.SUNY series, explorations in postcolonial studies.Reunionese literature (French)History and criticismMultiracial people in literatureMultiracial peoplePsychologyMiscegenation (Racist theory)RéunionCivilizationMauritiusCivilizationReunionese literature (French)History and criticism.Multiracial people in literature.Multiracial peoplePsychology.Miscegenation (Racist theory)840.9/96981Prabhu Anjali1612475MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967174703321Hybridity4366967UNINA
