Post-colonialism

Post-colonialism refers to the intellectual field opened up by Edward Said's book Orientalism. It refers to a set of theories in continental philosophy that grapple with the legacy of 19th century British and French colonial rule, especially with the dilemmas of developing a national identity in the wake of colonial rule. It is concerned with the ways knowledge of colonized people have served the interests of colonizers, and raises more general questions about how knowledge of subordinate people is produced, and how such knowledge is used. More controversial trends, like hybridity postcolonialism (Homi Bhabha) and liberal postcolonialism (Duncan Ivison), are probably reactions to the communitarian history of postcolonialism, which was and still is embedded in identity politics. The study of the post-colonial has gained popularity in recent years.
