Postcolonial Criticism

Postcolonial criticism is an approach that examines how colonial histories and power dynamics influence cultures, identities, and literature today. It explores how colonized nations and peoples have been affected by foreign domination, often highlighting issues of identity, resistance, and cultural legacy. This perspective seeks to understand and challenge the lingering effects of colonization, giving voice to marginalized groups and questioning traditional narratives that reflect colonial viewpoints. Essentially, it aims to uncover and analyze the lasting impacts of colonialism on societies and representations in literature and culture.
