Rethinking questions of identity, social agency and national affiliation, Bhabha provides a working, if controversial, theory of cultural hybridity - one that goes far beyond previous attempts by others. 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.

'Bhabha is that rare thing, a reader of enormous subtlety and wit, a theorist of uncommon power. His work is a landmark in the exchange between ages genres and cultures; the colonial, post-colonial, modernist and postmodern.' - Edward Said'The Location of Culture is an exuberantly intelligent voyage of discovery and disorientation. Supple, subtle and unafraid, its power lies in its remarkable openness to all that is challenging and unsettling in the contemporary world.' - Stephen Greenblatt'Bhabha's lightning raids into the past furnish Westerners with snapshots of a world more complicated, fluid and unsettling than the one they thought they had inherited.' - J.M Coetzee
