Explanation of Postcolonial Art
Postcolonial theory, which sustains postcolonial art, is not only related to the time after that a nation gained independence from its colonial authorities. This analyzes and responds to the cultural heritage of colonialism and human consequences from controlling a country to exploit the natives and their land. In doing this also discusses how the community and culture of non-European people can be seen from the perspective of Western cultural knowledge; How this is used to conquer people into the colony of the European parent country; and the identity produced from ‘invaders’ and ‘colonized’.
The intellectual born in Martinique Frantz Fanon is one of the leading anti-colonial thinkers of the twentieth century, and provides a theoretical framework to interpret individual oppression under imperialism-important elements of many postcolonial arts. An important influence on Fanon’s ideas is the teacher and mentor Aimé Césaire is one of the leaders of the Négritude movement. In books such as Whetched of the Earth which was first published in 1961, Fanon analyzed the effects of colonialism and decolonization and the role of class, race, national culture and violence in the struggle for national liberation. This and other books initiated an investigation of diversity and hierarchy in postcolonial culture conducted by writers such as Edward Said, Stuart Hall and Homi Bhabha.
