  • Descrição: Between the late 1940s and the 1970s, Europe's empires in Africa and Asia were largely dismantled; in the late 1970s, postcolonial studies as a field of scholarly inquiry, primarily in the humanities and interpretive social sciences, began to emerge in the Anglo‐American academy. What is the relationship between decolonization and postcolonial theory? How does decolonization remain an urgent task in the present? How might theory itself be decolonized? Drawing on the work of anti‐colonial national liberation theorists including Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, and Amílcar Cabral, and postcolonial theorists like Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, and Gauri Viswanathan, this chapter examines the multiple objects and aspects of decolonization: political economy, epistemology, culture, language, and nature (including natural resources). The unevenness and incompletion of decolonization can be understood by considering the various roles that colonizers, anti‐colonial nationalists, and Cold War superpowers played in decolonization: too often, postcolonial independence did not bring national liberation.
