This paper focusing on hybridity in Ben Okri’s trilogy aims to debunk the true basis of the Western cultural hegemony and by the same token seeks to participate in the cultural and political decolonization of African nations. First, for the Nigerian writer, an element which serves to attain this objective is magical realism. This postcolonial tool contests the existence of boundaries between mundane and spiritual abodes as it is conceived in the West. For the author of The Famished Road trilogy, there is no frontier between both realms since space is magical realist. Second, Okri admits that the cultural liberation of Africa can be recovered only with the mixing of European and African literary modes; that is to say, when storytelling is melted to fiction. That is the reason why Okri’s novels are replete with ghosts, demons, sorcerers as it occurs in most African tales. Third, the emancipation of ex-colonized countries is possible through the subverted medium, that is to say the colonial language which is tinged with the spirit of Nigerian idiomatic expressions.
