AcheraIou analyzes hybridity using a theoretical, empirical approach that reorients debates on métissage and the 'Third Space', arguing for the decolonization of postcolonialism. Hybridity is examined in the light of globalization, indicating how postcolonial discourse could become a counter-hegemonic ethics of resistance to global neoliberal doxa. AMAR ACHERAIOU (PhD, Sorbonne Nouvelle) has published extensively on modernist literatures, postmodernist thought, and postcolonial theories. He is the author of 'Rethinking Postcolonialism: Colonialist Discourse in Modern Literatures and the Legacy of Classical Writers' (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008); 'Joseph Conrad and the Reader: Questioning Modern Theories of Narrative and Readership' (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009); and is the editor of 'Joseph Conrad and the Orient' (forthcoming).
