Homi K. Bhabha
Homi Kharshedji Bhabha (; born 1 November 1949) is an
Indian scholar and
critical theorist. He is the Anne F. Rothenberg Professor of the
Humanities at
Harvard University. He is one of the most important figures in contemporary
postcolonial studies, and has developed a number of the field's neologisms and key concepts, such as
hybridity, mimicry, difference, and ambivalence. Such terms describe ways in which colonised people have resisted the power of the coloniser, according to Bhabha's theory. In 2012, he received the
Padma Bhushan award in the field of literature and education from the
Indian government. He is married to attorney and Harvard lecturer
Jacqueline Bhabha, and they have three children.
