‘Hybridity’ explains that cultural hybridity can be seen as an expansion of W. E. B. Du Bois’ concept of ‘double consciousness’: a painful incompatibility between how people see themselves and how society sees them only in terms of their race. Nevertheless, this has also formed the basis of the extraordinary cultural creativity of African-Americans. Drawing on cultural memory of their African roots, African-Americans have adapted and transformed aspects of European culture encountered in the US, particularly noticeable in the realm of African-American music. A comparable development of a hybridized culture is considered by tracing the emergence of raï music in 1970s Algeria, following the traumatic experiences of the Algerian War of Independence.

‘Translation’ explores the concept of translation which reflects the central conceptual and political dynamic of postcolonialism. Translating a text from one language to another transforms its material identity. Transforming an indigenous culture into the subordinated culture of a colonial regime or sovereign settler colony, or superimposing the colonial apparatus into which all aspects of the original culture have to be reconstructed operate as processes of translational dematerialization and reconstruction. Translation is an intercultural communication, but it also always involves questions of power relations and forms of domination. Colonized people must therefore retranslate themselves and their cultures; Frantz Fanon’s politics of translation offer a means to political empowerment and social transformation.

‘Subaltern knowledges’ discusses subaltern knowledges by looking at the perspectives of refugees. The terms ‘postcolonial’ and ‘decolonial’ signal the presence of the insurgent knowledges that come from the peripheries, from the indigenous, the marginalized, the dispossessed, and seek to transform the terms and values under which people live. Early interest in subalternity focused on subaltern consciousness but expanded to include divergent knowledges. Such knowledges are produced not just by subordinated groups with their individual cultures and histories but are also articulated in their different languages.
