The social and historical experience of the ethnic minorities has always been regarded as an-Other culture subsidiary to that of the dominant white. As they are voluntarily or forcibly characterized as racial stereotypes, ethnic minorities have to come to terms with what they are in order to fit in the epistemological and socio-historical contexts the white dominant contrive for them. For critics who have contributed themselves to the interrogation of identity formation, Frantz Fanon, Paul Gilroy, Stuart Hall, Julia Kristeva, and Homi Bhabha, the canon of minority and postcolonial discourse, to re-vision history through the intervention in master narratives has been observed as a significant strategic move to conceptualize the politics of hybridization in dealing with the ethnic identity. Accordingly, the idea of multiculturalism, once introduced, rouses extended discussions among academic circles. It seems politically righteous that multiculturalism can be treated as some kind of remedy to alleviate the anxiety caused by racial and social exclusions. |
