摘要

Syncretism, within the framework of postcolonial theory, theorizes the intricate intermingling of cultures, ideas, and practices, particularly in the aftermath of colonial dominance. It embodies the amalgamation of elements from diverse cultural backgrounds, creating new cultural expressions, beliefs, and forms of identity. This complex process becomes especially pertinent when examining diaspora communities, which are inherently shaped by the experience of displacement and the negotiation of identity across different cultural landscapes. It has been historically employed to illuminate the intricate ways in which cultural identities are re-imagined and reconstructed.
