- Postcolonialism (also known as post-colonial theory, post-colonial studies, and post-colonialism) is an academic discipline that comprises methods of intellectual discourse presenting analyses of, and responses to, the cultural legacies of colonialism and of imperialism (nearly always by European and North American powers).
