Exploring Cultural Hybridity and Belonging through a Postcolonial Lens: A Comparative Study of Ifemelu in ‘Americanah’’and Trevor in ‘Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood’
Keywords: Cultural hybridity, belonging, postcolonialism, identity, self-perception Résumé.
Abstract: This article examines cultural hybridity and belonging through the experience trajectories of Ifemelu in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s ‘Americanah’ and Trevor in Trevor Noah’s ‘Born a Crime’. Thus, by means of comparative perspective, the study analyses their life experiences, investigating the challenges of cultural identity within postcolonial African backgrounds and their experiences of diaspora in the United States and South Africa. For this reason, the depiction of their touch with diverse cultural panoramas, linguistic diversity, and societal norms highlights how cultural hybridity defines their perceptions of who they are, their self and belonging across these different contexts
