London; NY: Routledge, 2006. — 141 p.Homi K.Bhabha is one of the most important figures in contemporary post-colonial studies. This volume explores Bhabha’s writings and their influence on post-colonial theory, clearly introducing key concepts developed in his work, such as:
the stereotype
mimicry
hybridity
the uncanny
the nation
cultural rights
David Huddart draws examples from a range of fields including cultural theory, film and literary studies in order to illustrate the practical application of Bhabha’s thought.
Offering a starting point for readers new to this crucial theorist’s sometimes complex texts, or support for those who wish to deepen their understanding of his work, this guidebook is ideal for students in the fields of literary, cultural and post-colonial theory.
