Bhabha's "concept of hybridity and what he calls the third space" (Bentley 20008: 20) which Bhabha developed in contrast to multiculturalism (cf. Sommer 2001: 50). Furthermore, "Stuart Hall's concept of new ethnicities" (Bentley 2008: 20), which deals with "the historical development of racial politics" (ibid.: 21), will be outlined. In the following character analysis, with regard to Bhabha's third space, this seminar paper will examine whether Samad Iqbal and Irie Jones are able to create such a third space or not.
