Description
Summary:This paper attempts to define mimicry based on Homi Bhabha’s definition in the context of colonial and postcolonial Philippines. It seeks to point out the lingering colonial mentality of the former colonized people in the present age in the area of speaking English, perceiving that everything from the West is the best, and desiring whiteness. It ends with the challenge to mimic Christ more than anything else as the ultimate role-model.
