The Theoretical and Methodological Framework: Postcolonial Theory, Double Consciousness, and Study Design

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter identifies the influences of colonial discourses on the culture, history, identity, and literature of colonized peoples, towards the diasporic condition in which non-Western cultures infiltrated the colonial centre. It also explains how the colonial enterprise sought to cause an ebb in indigenous cultures as part of its so-called civilizing mission, but inadvertently caused a flow of cultural dispersion. This chapter extensively explores the concept of double consciousness, as conceptualized by both Du Bois and Gilroy, as a result of this cultural diffusion, and its implications, and addresses the study design in terms of case study, the interview approach, and data collection design.
