Cím:	Mimicry and Hybridity: The Quest for Black Identity in Richard Wright's Native Son / Chenini Fatma
Dátum:	2019
Megjegyzések:	My paper focuses on Richard Wright's Native Son (1940) within the framework of the concepts of mimicry and hybridity, and investigates their relevance by analyzing how the black characters depicted in the novel internalize and enact stereotypical roles and categories created by public discourse through movies and journals. Wright's protagonist, Bigger Thomas, is exposed to popular images of black males, which are exemplified by the movies he sees, in which they are cast in mainly two roles: either in that of the savage brute, which the whites fear, or that of the deferential servant, which white society seems to wish to relegate. This paper investigates how the African Americans, by internalizing these stereotypical roles, they imitate the black individual's image that the whites approve. However, the performance of mimicry can never lead to full identification between the black individuals and their approved image, a hybrid subject emerges on the part of the black individuals which results in a fragmentation of the African Americans' identity. This paper argues that mimicry and hybridity are the products of the hegemonic white society, but instead of imitating white conduct and manners, blacks can be seen as imitating the black individual that white society accepts.
