摘要:In Zoë Wicomb’s novels and short stories, main characters tend to share Wicomb’s coloured condition – mixed-race identity as defined by South African apartheid legislation – and her diasporic experience as a South African living in Scotland. Transculturation, dislocation and inbetweenness emerge as central notions for the experience of many of Wicomb’s characters, who often occupy an ambivalent and fluid space in which different cultural worlds and identities come into conflict and negotiation.
