colonialism and postcolonial literature
Colonialism refers to the political, economic, and cultural domination of one country over another. It involves the establishment and maintenance of colonies by an imperial power on foreign territories. Postcolonial literature, on the other hand, refers to literary works that examine and critique the effects and aftermath of colonialism, highlighting the experiences and perspectives of the colonized people. It explores themes of identity, power dynamics, cultural clashes, and the social, psychological, and economic implications resulting from the colonial encounter.
