Discrimination of Hybridity: Challenges of Postcolonial Writers to Go Beyond the Limits

This article will examine the development of the hybridity’s discrimination in British literature and the transformation of the neo-hybridity in postcolonial literature. It will also investigate how the postcolonial writers should encounter neo-hybridity with the purpose to explore and include the voice/narrative of the otherness/indigenous in the postcolonial literature. As British Empire made hybridity into a weapon to prolong its colonial rule with psychological slavery, the consequence is still evident in the postcolonial period. English educated, colonized non-White subjects who were British enterprise’s ultimate aim of hybridity initially served the purposes of Empire. Unfortunately, those non-white hybrid subjects’ transformation into white artifices produced the conflict of representation that is also inherited in postcolonial world as non-white hybrid subjects are struggling to break the fixity of stereotypical outlook. The prerogative hybrid subjects specially the postcolonial English writers go through a self-recantation with alienation. In consequence, the postcolonial English writers always rely on the hybrid individual whenever they attempt to discover any otherness/indigenous world, restricting the ability to exhibit the home-grown non-hybrid other/otherness character. To do that, the postcolonial writers face the challenges of discriminatory hybridity. They need to reformulate the process of utilizing the hybridity to explore the otherness/indigenous world, concentrating on the emergence of the neo-hybridity in the postcolonial literary world.
