post-colonialism
Stemming from the work of F. Fanon (1961) and E. Said (1978, 1993), the examination of the impact, and legacy, of the European conquest, colonization, and dominance of non-European cultures, lands, and peoples, together with the analysis of the ideas of European superiority inherent in European colonization. Other key features are: the exploration of the part played by representation in inaugurating and reproducing such ideas within both colonies and decolonized states; challenging the binary, homogeneous categories of the colonizing and colonized, and the recovery of the voices and agency of colonized peoples.
