| dc.description | Hybridity in Post-Colonial literature connotes the creation of diverse forms within a cultural space as a consequence of the influence of the colonizer's culture on the indigenous. This paper examines the phenomenon of hybridity as it occurs within the multicultural patriarchies of Post-colonial societies from the feminist literary lens of two texts; Mariama Ba's So Long a Letter and Chimamanda Adichie's Purple Hibiscus. The theories of Feminism and postmodemism are employed to highlight the new directions of the discussions as the paper seeks to highlight the hydra-headed nature of patriarchal domination as portrayed in postcolonial literature. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of hybrid sub-divisions of patriarchal authority in Post-Colonial marriage institutions as represented in fiction. | |
