This study aims to explore the possibility of hybridity as a subversive power destabilizing the racialized space represented in Faulkner's Go Down, Moses. The historical Southern space where Go Down, Moses is set in the time period of the 1830s to the 1940s is a racially segregated physical place, a socioeconomic and political geography of slavery and racial segregation, and a cultural space for the construction of racial and sexual identities. Faulkner explores the possibility of resistance and subversion of hybridity destabilizing the rigid racial boundary of the racialized space through the mixed-race characters. Hybridity has a subversive power destabilizing racial domination as the ‘Third Space' where a new identity emerges. In Go Down, Moses, mixed-race characters' hybridity acts as a sign evoking whites' historical sins and immorality of enslaving their children, brothers, and relatives, hence undermining the moral basis of white domination over blacks. Apart from this, hybridity creates new hybrid subjects who resist white power in various ways, thereby destabilizing the hierarchical racialized space.
