This book offers a powerful re-examination of the post-independence condition in formerly colonised nations, revealing how the end of empire gave way to new forms of domination. Engaging critically with the works of Chinua Achebe, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, and Salman Rushdie, it exposes the subtle continuities between colonial power and modern structures of economic, political, and cultural control. Combining literary insight with historical and theoretical depth, the book revitalises debates on neo-colonialism and postcolonial identity, challenging the myths of national liberation and progress. Scholarly yet accessible, it speaks to readers across literature, history, and political studies, offering a compelling vision of how art and imagination can illuminate—and resist—the unfinished legacies of empire.
