between prey and predator, however the colonial era has
been finished, but its effects still exist. Now the ultimate
goal of post-colonial theory is to combat the lasting
effects of colonialism on native cultures. It is not simply
concerned with recovering these past cultures, but
learning how the world can move beyond this period
together, towards a place of mutual respect.
