Abstract

This paper tends to examine the relationship between culture, identity and hybridity. It depends on V.S Naipaul’s The Mimic Men and Chinua Achebe’s No Longer at Ease as transcultural literary texts to delineate the power of the word in healing the traumatic memory and fragmented identities. Therefore, this paper is based on critics and theorists such as Fanon’s theory of inferiority complex, Bhabha’s theories of hybridity, ambivalence and mimicry and Ngugi’s theories which emphasizes national culture and identity. This paper emphasizes the linguistic and cultural decolonization, the celebration of the national history and cultural identity.
