Colonialism & Postcolonialism History Research
The nature and experiences of colonialism and post-colonialism are key dynamics in the making and remaking of the modern world. At their heart, they are defined by power relations and their legacies. Some historians researching this topic explore the various manifestations of the colonial encounter in a specific or comparative geographic context. Others focus on the process of decolonization and analyze how post-colonial processes remake identities, social relations, and institutional arrangements.
