Popis: The aim of this article is to study Nadine Gordimer’s July’s People in the light of Homi K. Bhabha’s postcolonial ideas of hybridity, mimicry and liminality. Gordimer challenges binary oppositions such as colonizer/colonized, white/black and self/other. He deconstructs Western’s definition of identity based on the binary opposition of self/other. Through this perspective, the other is constructed as the stereotype by the self, possessing an original superior identity and authority while Bhabha believes in cultural hybridity through which individuals can construct their identity in cultural interactions. Through Bhabhaian perspectives, the researcher investigates how Maureen, the white female character, under the impact of the new place and new culture constructs new identities. Moreover, the importance of the identities on her survival and agency is the second claim. Furthermore, how the creation of cultural meanings affects Maureen’s identity and her acceptance by the black people is the final challenge.
