Decolonization is a complex and multifaceted research area that examines the processes by which former colonies gain independence and autonomy from colonial powers. It also encompasses the ongoing efforts to undo the legacies of colonialism in terms of power dynamics, cultural practices, and societal structures. Decolonization research explores questions of power, identity, and resistance, and seeks to understand how colonized peoples can reclaim their agency and assert their own narratives and ways of being in a post-colonial world. This research area is interdisciplinary, drawing on fields such as history, sociology, anthropology, literature, and political science, and it is vital for addressing the continued effects of colonialism on contemporary societies.
