Why do we have to learn English? Why do we only learn British and U.S. literature (but not the other literatures written in English)? Why do we have English names?

Issues
- Postcolonial Identity: Can the subaltern speak? In What language(s)?
[S and B] focus their attention on the texts of the imperialist, and on the inevitable dismantling of their authority at the colonial periphery through. . . ambivalence and mimicry. Within post-colonialsim this practice thus remains deconstructive rather than positivist, and its purchase lies in the dismantling of imperial fictions and colonialist ideologies.
[Parry] . . .deconstruction''s necessary privileging of the imperial text as the object of critical attention amounts discursively to an erasure of the anti-colonialist ''antive'' voice and the limiting of the possibility of native resistance.
"White European settlers in the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand faced the problem of establishing their ''indigeneity'' and distinguishing it from their continuing sense of their European inheritance. In this respect their situation differs from that of Indians or Africans whose problem was to retrieve or reconstruct their culture at the end of a period of foreign rule. The colonial settlers had to create the indigenous, to discover what they perceived to be, in Emerson''s phrase, their ''original relation with the universe''. (Ashcroft 135 )
conflict--as the backward-looking impotence of exile and the forward-looking impetus to indigeneity collide. (Ashcroft136 )
e.g. ''the difference in nature and equivalence in value'' between the New World and the Old.
- Related Issue: de-colonization, hybridity (vs. assimilation), mimicry, commercialization of ethnicity.
