This book offers a reflection upon contemporary debates concerning the current use of terms in (post)colonial theories and critical studies. One of the main questions is related to the controversial deployment of ?post-colonial? and the need to search for a substitute term. Likewise, in a global era, does it make any sense to speak about colonizing or colonized identities when identities are considered to be multiconstructed? This book examines the ways in which searching for a place may not imply a new colonization, for the same territory is shared by others, and particularly when the map is not the territory.
