Postcolonialism is rarely examined as a critical theory in Turkey.1 This might be related to the arguments that Turkey has never been colonized like the countries in the classical colonization history by military power and forces. By complicating this approach to colonization, we will attempt (*) This article is a product of the research project carried out by the Student Research Unit of Postcolonial Studies Research Center (PAMER) at Usküdar University between 16th April-1st July under the coordination of Nursem Keskin Aksay, who is a Fellow in this Research Center and a doctoral Fellow in Freie University Berlin. During the research process several students of this unit have contributed to the participant observation, inter-view sessions, fieldwork reports and organization of the article such as Hasan Süheyl Tokuz, Zeynep Sinem Şeker, Merve Şahin and Tuğçe Gür but the decision on the authors of this article was made according to the degree of commitment and contribution to the writing process itself.

That’s why postcolonialism is also not related to the Turkey which was established as an independent Republic. However, if postcolonialism is considered as a critical tool which examines the operation of power in different levels and layers of experience throughout the world in terms of social, political and economic structures, its mainstream connotation extends the materiality of territories and appears in thoughts and practices of people. In that sense, postcolonialism is a critical theory in which the dimension and conceptualization of colonialism is complicated through questioning the power relations and structures in the world. For further discussion on postcolonialism see the works of postcolonial theorists Edward Said, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Homi K. Bhabha, Frantz Fanon, Dibesh Chakrabarty, and Michel Foucault.
