Kein Denker hat die Problematik der Verortung der Kultur so prägnant auf den Punkt gebracht wie dieser "anglisierte postkoloniale Migrant, der zufällig ein Literaturwissenschaftler mit leicht französischem Einfluß ist" - so Bhabhas Selbstcharakterisierung. In einer virtuosen, beziehungsreichen Sprache legt er dar, daß in postkolonialen Zeiten...
