While the initial formulation of hybridity was meant to explain the colonialist archives and narratives that disdained interracial relations, the term has been re-scripted from the early disenabling racist insinuations. The concept of hybridity as expounded within the postcolonial thought explores fresh opportunities for fruitful human interaction as it unsettles binary logics entrenched in a politics of differentiation. In this study, I adopt Homi K. Bhabha’s notions of hybridity and the third space as guiding frameworks in the analysis of identity representation in Mphuthumi Ntabeni’s transnational novel titled, The Wanderers. I interrogate the transgressive potential stirred by the writer’s innovative linguistic, cultural and textual construction, together with nomadic and spatial tropes. I further argue that hybrid identities do not align with the limiting identity frames, neither are they entirely detached from attempts to authorise essentialist fixities. Thus, perceived from this sense, the hybridised identities emerge from an arena of controversy and ambivalence—a condition of double consciousness, hence, remain open to further scrutiny, negotiations and re-inventions. The interminable re-sculpting in what Bhabha conjectures as the third space of enunciation is prompted by the incipient contexts, local and global entanglements, and enduring frontiers within specific historical moments. It is within this ongoing interstitial space (a site of overlaps, tensions and (dis)placement of spheres of differences that I locate this study. I concentrate on how the selected literary text transcends rigid cultural, linguistic and racial categories in (post)apartheid epochs in its attempt to engender enabling hybrid identities.
