Does Postcolonial literature involve only the lieterature of colonized countries or does it also includes the literature of colonial countries?

The literature of the
Post-colonialists encompasses any texts which focus upon races, cultures, and the idea of
identity after the gaining of independence. This literature is not, necessarily, limited to only
countries which have gained independence from other oppressive and controlling governments, but
the colonization of any area throughout time.

Postcolonial literature, most
famously, comes out of America, Africa, The Middle East, and Asia. In all of these areas, people
have banded together to fight against the oppression of a governing power to declare their
freedom. When successful, the "country" maintains colonization. Other times, the
people may not be successful at removing oppressive power, but that does not take away the fact
that the literature of the period can be (and is) considered Postcolonial.

Given that Postcolonial texts are derived from the fact that people are tired of
oppression, sometimes brutal oppression, any text which depicts a desire and movement against
the oppressive power is considered Postcolonial.
