For current literary and cultural studies, including postmodernism and postcolonialism, such terms as hybridity, in-betweenness, and liminality have been acclaimed as liberatory and subversive forces. One of the most distinguished recent South African writers, Zoe Wicomb, however, calls into question the mere celebration of hybridity and in-betweenness. She argues that such discourse relegates lived experience merely to “an aesthetics of theory.” In South Africa, where racial hybridity is not a merely theoretical but an actual formal category to indicate a mixed race, hybridity and in-betweenness are often associated with the opportunistic status of Coloured identity. Focusing on Wicomb’s first and best known collection of short stories, You Can’t Get Lost in Cape Town (1987), this paper examines how the ambiguous and ambivalent position of the Coloured effectively reflects the complicated and multi-layered socio-political conditions of South Africa under apartheid. Wicomb’s work reminds us that despite the meaningful idealization of hybridity, the notion is not easily translated into local historiographies.
