Abstract

The following paper seeks to analyze how identities in colonial discourse are maintained through the repetition of stereotyped signs. The novels Admiring silence (1996), by Abdulrazak Gurnah, and No longer at ease (1960), by Chinua Achebe, present the various narratives that permeate the daily life of the African individual who inhabits the border between the native and the European, or between colonized and colonizer. It is in this apparently binary existence where the protagonists fall apart, losing themselves in the contextual impossibility of experiencing the cultural hybridization of the immigrant. In view of the central themes to be worked on, the theoretical basis of this study will be composed of the writings by Homi Bhabha, Stuart Hall, V. Y. Mudimbe, among others.
