ABSTRACT

In recent years, one of the most suggestive theoretical perspectives is based on so-called postcolonial thought. As a result of the European decolonizing process after the Second World War, an academic movement was set up against Western neocolonialism and in favor of the political claims for indigenous cultural traditions (Lyndon and Rizvi 2010). Rather than a theoretical and methodological corpus, postcolonialism is seen as a political movement with various influences from other fields of thought such as post-modernism, Marxism, and feminism (Young 2001; Gosden 1999; Lyndon and Rizvi 2010).
