Post-colonialism, as a philosophy, seeks to combat the residual effects of colonialism on cultures. It is not simply concerned with salvaging past worlds, but learning how the world can move beyond this period together, towards a place of mutual respect. Postcolonial literature is the literary facet of this philosophy, which deals with the struggles of colonised people, their questions of identity, experiencing the conflict of living between the old, native world and the invasive forces of hegemony from new, and dominant culture. The book surveys the thoughts of a number of post colonialism's most prominent writers, including JM Coetzee, Cyril Dabydeen, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
