is a riff off of the 'postmodern condition' such that it makes colonialism the central structural principle in the postmodern.

Thus, in using the term 'postcolonial condition,' I index a specific set of locations articulated by the historical trajectories of European colonialism, developmentalism, and global capitalism. I prefer to employ 'postcolonial condition' instead of 'postmodern condition' (see Harvey 1989) because colonialism is not considered a central structuring principle in creating the postmodern condition. According to Stuart Hall (1996: 249): 'In the restaged narrative of the post-colonial, colonisation assumes the place and significance of a major, extended and ruptural wold-historical event. By 'colonisation,' the 'post-colonial' references . . . the whole proces of expansion, exploration, conquest, colonization and imperial hegemonisation which constituted the 'outer face,' the constitutive outside, of European and then Western capitalist modernity after 1492.'
