Postcolonialism generally refers to the period that came after the British and French colonization of Africa and Asia. It also stands for the literature that was produced immediately after the decolonization of African and Asian countries in 1960s and 1970s. As a field of study, Postcolonialism came into being as a reaction against the oppressive attitude of colonizers, who not only usurped and exploited their natural and human resources, but also suppressed their voices.
