decolonization and post-colonialism

Decolonization refers to the process through which colonies gain independence from colonial powers, reclaiming their political, cultural, and economic autonomy. It aims to dismantle the systems of oppression and control that were established by colonialism. Post-colonialism, on the other hand, refers to the intellectual and theoretical framework that emerged after decolonization. It analyzes the social, cultural, and economic legacies of colonialism, emphasizing the power dynamics, inequalities, and lingering effects of colonial rule on formerly colonized societies. Post-colonialism examines the ways in which colonial powers influenced, shaped, and often exploited the cultures, identities, and economies of colonized peoples.
