Horses and illusions

Post-colonial theory manifestations and its effects Author: Dr. Malak Ibrahim Al-Juhani Binding: Cover Volumes: 1 / 2 Paper: Shamua Size: 17 × 24 A brief: Post-colonial theory is included among the theories branching from cultural theory, and its thinkers have aimed to dismantle the idea that: "You cannot dismantle the house of the master with his tools," so they analyzed colonial discourse with the same Western critical tools, highlighting the repercussions of colonization on culture, society, and language during the periods of colonization and independence. They dedicated space to discuss the dualities upon which Western knowledge is based, such as the East/West duality, and studied the effects of the process of Westernization, and how this process lowered the colonized world to a marginal position. The thinkers discussed issues of identity, feminism, hybridity, cultural dependency, and mechanisms of new dominance. It has influenced theory on literary, linguistic, social, and political studies in general. Its use has expanded inside and outside Western academia, and the theory has been described as a traveling theory, characterized by many regional influences. However, the Arab library still lacks studies that highlight the dimensions of this theory and the multiplicity of its applied fields.
