 abstract={The aim of the article is to discuss the discourse of hybridity employed in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni`s "The Mistress of Spices". It is argued that under the veneer of exoticism (otherness created by culinary images, magic, and cross-cultural desire) the novel displays political engagement: it destabilizes mainstream categories such as white/black, authentic/ inauthentic, American/un-American, introduces ambiguity and ultimately challenges the center/periphery paradigm .},
 abstract={The nation`s margins, represented by an immigrant from the Indian subcontinent and a half-Native American, display a creative potential of dismantling exclusionary narratives of the nation (Bhabha) . Accordingly, the novel can be read as Divakaruni`s attempt to show the complicated cross-cultural relations in America, thus indicating the need of constant renegotiation of American identity without a discernible center and periphery .},
