ما بعد الكولونيالية : مفهومها، أعلامها، أطروحاتها

Abstract EN

Postcolonialism is the theory that analyses the discourse of colonization.

It tends to reexamine the history of colonization from the perspective of colonized.

Said’s most influential and arguable book “Orientalism” makes a very influential statement on the nature of identity formation in the postcolonial studies.

It had a great impact on thought about the colonial discourse.

Together with E.Said, Homi Bhabha and Gayatri Spivak make up what Robert Young described “the holy trinity” of postcolonial critics.

They acknowledge Said’s book as their immediate inspiration.

This paper will explore the definitions of (Postcolonialism) and trace the growing of this theory and then discuss the thoughts of “the holy trinity” of postcolonial critics and then discuss the issues of this theory.
