Post-colonialism (or Postcolonialism) is the outlook and studies as

and Fourth-world that emerged in 70’s.
However, it’s not only talking about Western colonial subjugation
but also various reality of injustice, culture and gender domination,
sexual orientation issues, social class, subaltern people

societies and the effects of colonial practices on literary
productions.
