Abstract

This paper is a review of the concept of postcolonial identity and its relative ethnic attributes. It follows a thematic scrutiny of the concept of identity in various postcolonial contexts. The main objectives of the study is to unravel and explain the role of identity in shaping the traditional meaning of the relationship between metropolitan cultures and postcolonial cultures. The main body of the reviews rely on my previous studies conducted on the concept of identity within the board context of post-colonialism. Consequently, the discussion attempts to scrutinize the thematic and cultural attributes of postcolonial identity in order to offer a comprehensive idea about the formation and development of ethnic identity in postcolonial societies. Furthermore, the discussion aims at revealing the social peculiarities of identity and its pertinent aspects of ethnicity.
