Abstract

Specialist Studies in Education

postcolonial

From the start, there has always been an ambiguity in the academic literature on the postcolonial. Does the term `postcolonial' refer to a historical process that has already occurred, such that we are currently living in a historical epoch `after colonialism'? Or does the idea of the postcolonial refer not to the past but to the future; to a more intangible notion, encapsulating a desired state of affairs in which postcolonial times are yet to come? Are we already postcolonial? Or have we yet to become so? (Schwarz 2000)
