Description:
Hybridity and its Discontents explores the history and experience of "hybridity" -- the mixing of peoples and cultures -- in North and South America, Latin America, Britain and Ireland, South Africa, Asia and the Pacific. The book traces manifestations of hybridity in debates about miscegenation and racial purity, in scientific notions of genetics and "race", in processes of cultural translation, and in ideas of nation, community and belonging.
Expand description
The contributors examine how new cultural forms emerge from borrowings, exchanges and intersections across ethnic and cultural boundaries, and conclude by investigating the contemporary experience of multiculturalism in an age of contested national borders and identities.
