Post-colonial theory is an academic framework that analyzes the effects and legacies of colonialism on societies, cultures, and identities after colonization has ended. This theory examines how colonial power dynamics continue to shape post-colonial states and their relationships with former colonizers, emphasizing issues of identity, culture, politics, and economics. It critically engages with the impact of colonial narratives and seeks to understand how newly independent nations can construct their national identities in the aftermath of foreign rule.
