Homi Bhabha

Homi Bhabha: An Introduction and Critique is a pathbreaking three-volume study of the postolonial scholar's work. McLaverty-Robinson translates Bhabha's difficult prose into plain English without losing its meaning. His incisive critique cuts through Bhabha's aura and tests whether his ideas work in practice - empirically or politically. This second volume examines the most influential aspects of Bhabha's work: his theories of colonialism inbetweenness (or liminality) and marginal minority and migrant experiences. It explores his accounts of Indian history the idea that migrants have a particularly radical point of view and the concepts of hybridity mimicry difference and diversity. The text is livened up with inset boxes and images including examinations of colonial history.
