This study examines Tamim Ansary's "Destiny Disrupted," focusing on the narrative strategies and identity construction through the lens of cultural hybridity. Ansary employs storytelling, juxtaposition of Islamic and Western narratives, and personal anecdotes to challenge monolithic perceptions of identity. By highlighting the complexities of cultural interactions, he illustrates the fluidity of identity shaped by historical contexts. This analysis reveals how Ansary’s work fosters empathy and understanding, encouraging readers to reconsider their own identities in a globalized world. Ultimately, "Destiny Disrupted" serves as a vital contribution to discussions on cultural hybridity and postcolonial thought.
