Abstract

Postcolonial literature represents a significant body of work that reflects the cultural, social, and political ramifications of colonialism and its aftermath. This review critically examines seminal texts and key themes in postcolonial literature, analyzing the evolution of narrative strategies, representations of identity, and the negotiation of power dynamics. Through a comprehensive exploration of major works, this paper highlights the diversity of voices and perspectives within postcolonial discourse, elucidating the impact of historical contexts on literary expression. Key findings underscore the transformative potential of postcolonial narratives in reshaping global literary landscapes and fostering intercultural dialogue.
