The Holy Trinity Of Postcolonial Studies: Background And Scope
Authors : Arab Samir .
Abstract
In the last two decades, postcolonial theory gained more prominence and has become one of the most influential approaches to literary analysis. The extensiveness of postcolonial studies, in terms of philosophical and thematic concerns, somehow disturbs the reader. In literature and literary criticism, scholars argue that being acquainted with the founding fathers of any literary movement gives the reader more chance to meet the author’s expectations and the understand his/her message. Edward Said, Homi Bhaha, and Gayatri Spivak are the pillars of postcolonial studies that any postcolonialist-reader is compelled to read about before approaching postcolonial literary texts. They are considered by Robert Young as the Holy Trinity of Postcolonialism. The present study sheds light on postcolonialism as a theory of subversion and reclamation and examines the contributions of the Holy Trinity to the rise of postcolonial studies.
