Post-Colonial Literature
Post-Colonial Literature refers to literary works produced in countries that were once colonies, focusing on the effects of colonialism on cultures and identities. This genre often explores themes of identity, displacement, and the struggle for independence, reflecting the complexities of life after colonial rule.
Writers in this field, such as Chinua Achebe and Salman Rushdie, use their narratives to challenge colonial perspectives and highlight the voices of marginalized communities. Their works often blend traditional storytelling with modern techniques, creating a rich tapestry that addresses historical injustices and celebrates cultural diversity.
