English Literature – 1850 to 1950
Neocolonialism refers to the practice of using economic, political, cultural, or other pressures to control or influence a country, typically one that was formerly colonized. It reflects the continuation of colonial-like exploitation and dominance even after formal independence, often perpetuated through multinational corporations and foreign governments. This term highlights the subtle and indirect ways in which former colonial powers maintain influence over former colonies and relates closely to discussions on power dynamics and cultural identity in literature.
