Literature by and about people from former European colonies, mainly in Africa, Asia, South America, and the Caribbean (about the 1950s–present). This literature strives to broaden the traditional Western canon while also challenging Eurocentric preconceptions about literature, particularly through examinations of otherness, identity, and race. Although post-colonial critique is comparable to cultural studies, it implies a distinct perspective on literature and politics that requires its own study. Post-colonial critics are particularly interested in literature produced by colonial powers as well as writings created by individuals who were/are colonized. Power, economics, politics, religion, and culture are all investigated in connection to colonial hegemony in post-colonial theory (Western colonizers controlling the colonized). Thus, the aim of this paper is to explain the concept of postcolonial literary criticism.
