A Study on Post-Colonialism in Khasi Dar Mighat Based on Frantz Fanon’s Theories

Contemporary literature is considered as the reflection of intellectual trends in the society. Although numerous types of contemporary literature exist all around the world and they all influence one another, the role of native trends in Eastern colonized countries should not be neglected; societies that have elapsed colonization era and have entered post-colonialism stages. The present article intends to study Jalal Al-e-Ahmad’s critical post-colonialism perspectives- including a collection of theories regarding cultural heritage of colonialism- in his book, “Khasi Dar Mighat” based on Frantz Fanon’s theories. This study has been done with a descriptive-analytical methodology. After analyzing theories by these two critics and writers, it could be said that Jalal Al-e-Ahmad and Frantz Fanon both have common thoughts in that they do not limit their post-colonialism studies only to the west, but they believe one’s criticism of their own image should also be considered as a part of their studies.
