The postcolonial critic Homi K. Bhabha suggests that one of the ways in which the colonized writes back to the centre is through an adoption, incorporation and subversion of the dominant cultural code. This might be seen, for example, in the use of non-standard forms of english. For Bhabha, the colonizer experiences this as a mimicry which undermines the foundations of its constructed superiority.
