INTRODUCTION

POSTCOLONIALISM, from an
anthropological perspective, involves the
study of the impact and consequences of
colonization on societies and cultures. It
examines power dynamics, inequality, and
how these factors have shaped the identities
and experiences of both the colonizers and
the colonized. It is a complex field that
helps us understand the lasting effects of
colonization and the ongoing struggles for
decolonization and social justice.
