Abstract
According to M.H. Abrams-''The critical analysis of the history, culture, literature, and modes of discourse that are specific to the former colonies of England, Spain, France, and other European imperial powers comes under the category of postcolonial studies. These studies have focused especially on the Third World countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean islands, and South America. Some scholars, however, extend the scope of such analyses also to the discourse and cultural production of countries such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, which achieved independence much earlier than the Third World countries.'' An important text in establishing the theory and practice in this field of study was Orientalism (1978) by the Palestinian-American scholar Edward Said, which applied a revised form of Michel Foucault's historicist critique of discourse to analyze what he called ''cultural imperialism.''
