Postcolonial feminism is a theoretical framework and activist approach that emerged as a response to both the dominance of Western feminist discourse and the legacies of colonialism that continue to shape gender relations, power structures, and development processes in formerly colonized societies. It seeks to highlight how histories of imperialism, racism, and global inequality intersect with gender oppression, and it challenges the universalist assumptions often present in mainstream feminist theory, particularly those originating in the Global North. Postcolonial feminism emphasizes the importance of cultural specificity, historical context, and the recognition of diverse experiences of women in different parts of the world. Postcolonial feminism developed during the late 20th century as feminist scholars and activists from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and other formerly colonized regions began critiquing the tendency of Western feminism to speak on behalf of all women without adequately considering differences in race, class, religion, nationality, and historical background. The movement’s intellectual roots can be traced to postcolonial theory, which analyses the enduring impacts of colonialism on culture, politics, and identity. Postcolonial feminists incorporate these insights into gender analysis, arguing that colonial histories not only shaped economic and political systems but also profoundly influenced cultural norms, gender roles, and social hierarchies. One of the central critiques of postcolonial feminism is directed at what Chandra Talpade Mohanty called the “colonial construction” of the “Third World woman.” In her seminal essay “Under Western Eyes,” Mohanty argued _____ ____ ________ ___ _________ _________ _______ ___.
