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. 410 0$aSUNY series, explorations in postcolonial studies. 606 $aReunionese literature (French)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMultiracial people in literature 606 $aMultiracial people$xPsychology 606 $aMiscegenation (Racist theory) 607 $aRe?union$xCivilization 607 $aMauritius$xCivilization 615 0$aReunionese literature (French)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMultiracial people in literature. 615 0$aMultiracial people$xPsychology. 615 0$aMiscegenation (Racist theory) 676 $a840.9/96981 700 $aPrabhu$b Anjali$01612475 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967174703321 996 $aHybridity$94366967 997 $aUNINA
