| Abstract: | This paper explores identity patterns in writings that belong to postcolonial literatures and highlights the split identities that inherently surface within the postcolonial intercultural hybridization. Under the lens are postcolonial writers such as Salman Rushdie, V. S. Naipaul and Kazuo Ishiguro. These writers’ split consciousness places them between cultures and mentalities, which they incorporate by reshaping identities in the increasingly more globalized space of literature that follows the canons of the postcolonial theory but also proposes new perspectives of marginality. |
