Post-colonial Literature: The Art Of Resistance

Authors : Kaddouri Rachida . Louahala Nadia .

Abstract

In the last century, British nations previously occupied by the Empire have produced a fantastic literary production, which has altered the geography of English literature. One of the fascinating developments in modern English literature has been the rise of post-colonial literature, which refers to works published in English in nations formerly colonized by the United Kingdom or other Western powers. What sets post-colonial writing apart from different kinds of literature is that; it enables us to look at the world in ways we have not before, reassess long-held ideas, and redefine functional divisions between insiders and outsiders. The present paper intends to focus on how writers use national identity and traditional ideas to explain cultural values and representations in newly independent countries.
