Hybridity is explored through linguistic and narrative analysis in Junot Díaz's work. The paper begins by defining hybridity using theories from Homi K. Bhabha and Sten Pultz Moslund, highlighting its relevance to the text. It then examines the narrative perspective of Yunior, emphasizing how his voice contributes to the novel's hybrid nature. By closely analyzing the novel alongside cultural hybridity theories, the study aims to illustrate and validate the hybrid viewpoint inherent in the story.
