Imminent aspects of postcolonialism and those aspects of Marxist approach that adopts a nuance d approach towards imperialism makes postcolonial Marxism an ipso facto critique of globalization, colonialism and imperialism. Therefore, the epithets circumventing and subverting the hegemonies of colonialism, imperialism, and globalization are also studied.
