Abstract	:	Conrad's Heart of Darkness examines the brutality of colonization while simultaneously replicating the ideology that informs it. Conrad's vision of Africa as the temporal predecessor of Europe denies the African "savage" coevalness and creates a model for examining how colonialism denies the complexity of interaction between itself and the people it colonizes. Salih's Season of Migration to the North interacts with this model for colonial distancing using "a stereoscopic vision" that both rehearses and undermines colonial assumptions of otherness. Salih creates tension between the colonial assumptions of separation and the space of hybridity. He exposes the ideological, political, and economic hybridization of both the colonizer and subject and revalues the hybrid space through central characters who embody the collision of Western and Eastern identity.
