Abstract
The term “Creole” refers to the racialized identities of people in certain parts of the former European colonial empires; to their everyday cultural practices; and to the languages they speak. “Creolization” denotes the experiences of displacement, dispossession, and transcultural mixing whereby identities are altered, new social agents emerge, and different cultural phenomena are forged as people retain aspects of their individual traditions, imitate and resist powerful others, endure, and survive. A productive concept for the investigation of cultural and intellectual formations resulting from mobility, exchange, and uneven global borrowings, creolization can help understand the transformation of practices, ideas, and theories as they travel into new contexts of reception, performance, and implementation.
