摘要：Based on the concept of postcolonial literature as the writing that investigates the literary production of women and other minority groups in relation to the colonial discourse, this article aims to analyze how the Afro-American writer Octavia E.Butler uses speculative fiction to expose and subvert colonial discourse through hybridism.First, it is discussed how science and its biased attitude towards black people became institutionalized in modern Western culture.After this, the text examines the influence of this ideology upon the science fiction narrative.Finally, the article analyses Butler’s creation of postcolonial identities in the short story “Bloodchild” (1996) and in the novel The Parable of the Sower (1993) as a criticism of dominant representations of gender and race.
