Abstract

The researcher, in this research, tries to explore natives’ complex in postcolonial perspective. The researcher has adapted Frantz Fanon’s postcolonial theory. It explores the works of natives’ countries from the perspective of the re-creation of a colonial atmosphere. Fanon argues that after the political independence from their ‘white’ masters, natives are unable to assert their ‘self’. They never cease to dream of putting themselves in place of their ‘white’ masters. They copy them by discarding their own past and culture. They try to grab others’ power and seek to take the supreme authority previously enjoyed by their ‘white’ masters. The researcher takes the works of different colonized countries. The research explores the natives’ complex, which engendered war and violence after their independence. This research will help to understand the reason of wars, violence, and aggression in natives’ lands after their independence.
