The role of world Englishes in postcolonial literature

Author(s):

Neha Upadhyay

Abstract:

The spread of English through colonial expansion led to the development of numerous localized varieties of the language, collectively known as World Englishes. These diverse forms of English have become powerful vehicles for postcolonial expression. This paper explores how postcolonial writers have appropriated and transformed English to reflect their unique cultural realities, challenge colonial discourse, and articulate hybrid identities. Through theoretical insights and textual analysis, this paper emphasizes how World Englishes function as tools of both resistance and creativity in postcolonial literature.
