Abstract
Our understanding of hybridity in organization theory stems mainly from observations of social enterprises. However, what is less studied is hybridity in community settings where it can be high-stake by putting community members’ lives at stake, which is not necessarily the case in an organizational setting where the separation between professional and personal life is ordinary. Building on a rich qualitative study of a First Nation in Quebec, Canada, our analysis depicts the political dynamics of high-stake hybridity. We adopt an identity-as-narrative theoretical lens to explore how high-stake hybridity is dealt with through narratives at the community level, in a context where the weight of the controversial past is ubiquitous. In particular, our findings suggest that high-stake hybridity is strategically managed through three inter-related processes: historical isolation, historical combination, and enacting flexibility. Two main theoretical implications emerge from our study: not only is it essential to theorize hybridity as a political arena, but it is also more than ever relevant to bring history back in our understanding of identity-as-narrative.
