Abstract

Postcolonialism constitutes a multiplicity of historico-theoretical modes of framing the manners in which political-economic and cultural phenomena, including accounting, are reproduced in confrontational spaces between colonised and colonisers. It offers different interpretive schemas for explaining how colonised confront and experience colonising and, in that confrontation, how subjectivities, identities, and material conditions are transformed. This chapter articulates postcolonialism’s theoretical and analytical postures for critical accounting.
