This article argues that the crowd and the minor characters in the Gospel of Mark were the subalterns of that day. The emergence of such a group was principally due to the religio-political oppressions during the Roman colonial period. As the author of Mark pinpointed some postcolonial issues such as representation, hybridity, gender, "race," for example, this paper looks at the Markan text from a postcolonial perspective, with the intention of reconstructing the historiography, thereby situating the subalterns as the focal point in the hermeneutical process
