Abstract. The study aims to shed light on how the Mother figure influences cultural identity formation in the Swedish novels "Can You Say Shibboleth?" (Sw. "Kan du s?ga schibbolet?") by M. Bakhtiari and "Svenhammed’s Diaries" (Sw. "Svenhammeds journaler") by Z. Be?evi?. The article examines characteristic features of hybrid identity and also defines women’s role in cultural experience transmission. Scientific novelty of the study lies in approaching the modern Swedish literature from the viewpoint of the postcolonial theory. For the first time, the researcher has identified a feature of the postcolonial discourse in the Swedish works, which is emphasis on deep connection between the Mother and cultural identity. As a result, it is determined that nature of communication with the mother and the older generation of women influences the protagonists’ cultural identity formation.
