The notion of hybridity, made prominent by theorists such as Homi Bhabha, refuses oversimplified dichotomies of God/human, colonizer/colonized, black/white, male/female, or Asian/American, preferring to speak of the complicated and often conflicted space ???in-between,??? what Bhabha has called the Third Space, where identity and meaning are constructed and negotiated in often messy ways.
