Through the theory of hybridity, we have been able to shed light on some of the works of Tahar Ben Jelloun, an internationally renowned author.

Finally, we have undertaken a reading of the two texts in the light of the theory of cultural hybridity as thought in the work of Bakhtine and Alphonso de Toro.
