Bhabha has become one of the leading voices in post-colonialism since the early 1980s. His work is very difficult to understand at first reading because of his complex writing style. It can be argued that Bhabha is “something of a master of political mystification and theoretical obfuscation” (McLeod, 2000: 51). Bhabha suggests that colonial authority is necessarily rendered ‘hybrid’ and ‘ambivalent’ when it is imitated or reproduced, thus opening up spaces for the colonized to subvert the masterdiscourse. (Loomba, 1998). In his book “The Location of Culture” (1994), Bhabha writes, ‘The objective of colonial discourse is to construe the colonized as a population of degenerate types on the basis of racial origin, in order to justify conquest and to establish systems of administration and instruction’
