This article explores the evolving field of colonial studies, emphasizing its interdisciplinary nature, blurring the lines between anthropology, history, and literary studies. It examines how this field necessitates a reflexive approach within anthropology, prompting scholars to confront the discipline's historical entanglement with colonial practices. The article argues that colonial studies has progressively shifted towards understanding colonialism as a dynamic process of struggle and negotiation. It challenges the simplistic dichotomies often used to represent colonial power, revealing the complex and nuanced interactions that shaped colonial encounters. By focusing on the emergence and particularities of Western governmentality, this field offers new perspectives on the historical roots of contemporary power structures.
