In The Location of Culture, he uses concepts such as mimicry, interstice, hybridity, and liminality to argue that cultural production is always most productive where it is most ambivalent. Speaking in a voice that combines intellectual ease with the belief that theory itself can contribute to practical political change, Bhabha has become one of the leading post-colonial theorists of this era Notes Originally published: London : Routledge, 1994 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 368-396) and index Subject Literature, Modern -- 19th century -- History and criticism.
