Postcolonialism explores the political, social, and cultural effects of decolonization, continuing the anti-colonial deconstruction of Western dominance. This Very Short Introduction discusses both the history and key debates of postcolonialism, and considers its importance as a means of changing the way we think about the world.

Robert J. C. Young examines the key strategies that postcolonial thought has developed to engage with the impact of sometimes centuries of Western political and cultural domination. Situating the discussion in a wide cultural and geographical context, he draws on examples such as the status of Indigenous peoples, of those dispossessed from their land, Algerian rai music, and global social and ecological movements. In this new edition, he also includes updated material on race, slavery, and postcolonial gender politics. Above all, Young argues that postcolonialism offers a political philosophy of activism that contests the current situation of global inequality, which in a new way continues the anti-colonial struggles of the past and enables us to decolonize our own lives in the present.

I've been a fan of the "A Very Short Introduction" series and I found each one very informative. I was expecting this to be a well documented dive into the events that marked the second half of the twentieth century. I expected a thorough analysis of the changes in society which resulted from the events. However, I found a manifesto that tries hard to find western culture guilty for problems in the former colonial area. Conclusions are rushed (where they don't seem simply fabricated on the spot). Trying to appeal to compassion also doesn't help much. I find post-colonial interactions a very interesting subject and I think it deserves more exact analyses.

Disappointing and biased
