Abstract Postcolonial studies attempt to reconstruct the epistemological structures of Eurocentrism and to recover the historical voices that were ignored and excluded because of an entrenched Eurocentrism that privileged the elite, white, male, European perspective1. Postcolonial studies are characterized by diversity of perspectives and plurality of approaches. In this sense, postcolonial theory is influenced by poststructuralist thought, deconstructionalist approach, and Marxist ideology among other approaches and perspectives. In light of this, the term postcolonialism does not have a stable definition. In recent years, postcolonial studies focus mainly on the cultural relationship between the margin and the center. |
