520 |a Novel is one of the primary tools used by the West to distort and stereotype the real image of the Orients as well as legitimate their colonial presence in the East. For this reason, this literary research of a pure literature approach is aimed to highlight the problematic issues of identity, hybridity and the gap between the Orient and the Occident in Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North through applying the critical postcolonial theory on the text. This study presents the way Tayeb Salih frames the identity struggle, in addition to the cultural hybridity between the Orient and the Occident which are implanted in the narrative by giving their possible meanings and interpretations. The analysis is cooked through adopting an eclectic approach to examine the content by the two most important approaches of the textual analysis, the author-oriented approach and context-oriented approach. Accordingly, the analysis of the text, Season of Migration to the North by Tayeb Salih, is done under the umbrella of the Postcolonial Lens. The researcher embedded the ideas of Edward Said - Orientalism and Othering tbe other- as well as Homi Bhabha -Hybridity- to explore the postcolonial dimensions of Season of Migration to the North. There is an apparent conflict between the East and the West, and an imperial effect on tbe Oriental cultural identity from the European, ideologically and physically, which leads to hybrid identities. The effect of the West over the Orient is obvious through the occidental modernism, feminism views, diaspora, British education system, culture contact through mimicry and European ideologies and how that leads to fracture the oriental identity in general. Generally speaking, there is a middle point between the Orients and the Occident. Thus, reconciliation between tbe East and the West can be achieved if the West tries to bypass the virtual boundaries they draw between them and the Orientals. This study concludes that the struggle was and still exists, and it will continue as long as the West tries to keep their dominance over the East and get benefited from their wealth. It is a kind of imagination that there will be a compromise between the two cultures, since both of them are somehow di fferent, and each one has its characteristics and features.
