Decolonization Studies

Decolonization Studies is an academic field that examines how countries and peoples have challenged, resisted, and dismantled colonial rule and influence. It explores the histories, cultures, and power dynamics involved in decolonization processes, emphasizing the voices and experiences of formerly colonized communities. By analyzing political, social, and cultural transformations, the field seeks to understand how nations regain sovereignty and reassert their identities beyond colonial legacies. It also critically reflects on ongoing forms of imperialism and aims to promote equity, justice, and self-determination globally.
