postcolonial identity
Postcolonial identity refers to the cultural, social, and psychological aspects of identity formation and experiences that emerge as a result of colonialism and the decolonization process. It encompasses the ways in which individuals and communities, particularly from former colonized nations, navigate and negotiate their sense of self, belonging, and agency in a postcolonial context, often challenging oppressive power structures and reclaiming their diverse cultural heritage.
