Appropriation
-Appropriation usually means you're taking something from someone else without permission and using that thing for your own ends. You know-like stealing. So that has to do with what the colonizers did to the colonized, right?
-Wrong! Well, right, but in poco world, the colonized can appropriate too, and that can be the beginning of something pretty revolutionary (or at least rebellious).
-In that meaning, it has to do with the colonized appropriating something that "belongs" to the colonizers (usually it refers to language) and starting to use it how they want to, not just because it's imposed on them. So, dwellers in a Caribbean colony start speaking English, but they infuse it with their own meanings and melodies instead of trying to talk exactly like queen. Totally empowering, right? That is, unless you are the queen.
