[A] doubling, dissembling image of being in at least two places at once which makes it impossible for the devalued, insatiable evolué... to accept the coloniser's invitation to identity: ‘You're a doctor, a writer, a student, you're different, you're one of us.’ It is precisely in that ambivalent use of ‘different’—to be different from those that are different makes you the Same—that the Unconscious speaks of the form of Otherness, the tethered shadow of deferral and displacement. It is not the Colonialist Self or the Colonised Other, but the disturbing distance in between that constitutes the figure of the colonial otherness—the White man's artifice inscribed on the Black man's body. It is in relation to this impossible object that emerges the liminal problem of colonial identity
