The goal of post colonialism 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. Post colonial literature in its most recent form attempts to critique the contemporary post-colonial discourse that has been shaped over recent times. It attempts to re-read this very emergence of post-colonialism and its literary expression itself. Post colonial literature works through the process of writing back, re-writing and re-reading. This describes the interpretation of well-known literature from the perspective of the formerly colonized.
