The main characteristics include the subversion of traditional detective fiction tropes. In postcolonial detective fiction, the idea of the all - knowing, white detective is often challenged. Instead, we might have a detective from the postcolonial society who has a different perspective. The themes also revolve around issues like identity. Characters are constantly grappling with their postcolonial identities, whether it's related to nationality, ethnicity, or class. Moreover, the language used can be a blend of local dialects and the colonial language, which reflects the hybrid nature of postcolonial cultures.

Well, they often deal with themes of resistance. The characters in postcolonial science fiction novels tend to resist the old colonial hierarchies and ways of thinking. They might use advanced technology or new forms of social organization to do this. For example, they could create their own self - sufficient communities that are based on their pre - colonial values but also incorporate modern scientific knowledge. And there is a strong sense of cultural hybridity, where different cultural elements mix in new and unexpected ways.
