The document discusses the differences between colonial and post-colonial literature. Colonial literature refers to works written during the colonial period from the colonizer's perspective, often portraying colonized places and people inaccurately. Post-colonial literature analyzes and responds to colonialism's cultural impacts and is written from the perspective of formerly colonized people and cultures. It aims to counter stereotypes with more accurate depictions of indigenous peoples and practices. The main differences are the time periods, perspectives, and portrayals within the works.
