I am apprehensive regarding a binary approach to colonialism, where a person is either colonizer or colonized, within a contemporary discourse. If in one moment, we acknowledge our manifold hybridized identities, and in the next we are divided into colonized and colonizers, have we not destroyed the former? The binary approach to colonialism seems simplistic and limiting when considering the constant migrations and absorptions of cultural stimuli. Hybridization acknowledges a complex mixing of all cultural strata, which renders a binary approach obsolete within a contemporary context. -Lian Sifuentes
