Post-Colonialism focuses on how governments, societies, and people of previously colonized parts of the world interact when it comes to international relations. It brings attention of the after effects of colonization that still have an impact on this world. This thinking provides a perspective on the factors that create a hierarchy in international relations. Post-colonialism questions the way states think, why they thrive to obtain more power.

While doing this reading on Post-Colonialism, something that interested me was how they shared similar aspects with feminism. In the reading, “Postcolonialism forces us to reckon with the everyday injustices and oppressions that can reveal themselves in the starkest terms through a particular moment of crisis.”(Chapter 9: Post Colonialism) it sheds a light on the everyday injustices and oppressions that was present in the past and even today. For example, race/gender/class, these are some of the things post-colonialism explores.
