Description

The research aims to analyze postcolonial texts from the perspective of deconstruction. It is a theory that aims to seek the differences and hidden motivesof any text. Jacques Derridahas given the idea of "Deconstruction" to uncover the hidden realitiesof the texts. The theoryof "Deconstruction" is applied in the context of postcolonialism to explain the fact of subservience even after decolonization. The study applies the qualitative method with Belsey approach of "Thematic Content Analysis". The study is significant because it negates the hegemony of colonizers after decolonization and it describes the hidden tactics of the term: postcolonialism.
