post-colonialist theory

this is the theoretical hook of every serious artist of non-european descent in the western world. the intellectual trinity of post-colonialist theory: 1. edward said 2. homi k. bhabha 3. gayatri spivak. i have to admit, bhabha's theories of hybridity and the ambivalent third space really hit me. it was exactly how i was feeling about my life, and what i felt the meaning was of what was ending up on the canvas.
