Postcolonial (sometimes post-colonial) studies is a way of analyzing literature with a focus on the effects of European and American colonization (mostly physical but sometimes cultural and economic as well). As such, it deals with topics such as race, ethnicity, identity, culture, etc. Gloria Anzaldua's book Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza would be an example of post-colonial criticism.
