INTERSECTING CULTURES: POST-COLONIAL PERSPECTIVE IN CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH LITERATURE

Abstract

Through the prism of a post-colonial perspective, this research explores the dynamic interplay of cultures within modern English literature. It looks at how writers juggle a wide range of cultural elements to create stories that go over traditional boundaries. According to this investigation, literature is a powerful tool for recovering stories and contesting the prevailing discourse that dates back to the colonial past. Post-colonial voices become forces for transformation, upending past hierarchies of power and transforming the canon of English literature. The study looks at how these voices participate in an ongoing decolonization process, using language and narrative to promote a complex comprehension of cultural interconnections. This study seeks to clarify the intricacies of identity, power, and representation in modern English literature by presenting a wide range of tales. It also hopes to highlight the transformational potential of post-colonial ideas in creating a literary discourse that is more inclusive and equitable.
