INTRODUCTION The actuality of the topic: In post-colonial societies, multiculturalism is a historical problem caused by ethnic conflicts of colonial racial knowledge and state formation on the one hand, and decolonization on the other. In colonized societies, the reality and legacy of colonial racism was not a simple matter. Anthropological knowledge was crucial for the construction of colonial state institutions, where racial ethnography determined the way of governing each local ethnic group. In turn, the nationalist consciousness developed on a communitarian-ethnic basis. The nationalist inheritance of the colonial racial state created the ground for post-colonial ethnic strife. Drawing on well-known examples of successful management of post-colonial ethnic conflicts in Malaysia and Singapore. However, today’s globalization is creating a new pluralism that threatens this multi-racial society and opens up opportunities for democratization.
Postcolonialism has become an equally common term , especially in the study of the sustained consequences of repressive “necropolitics” of colonial rule and post-independence states and elites ( Chakrabarty , 1992; Mbembe, 2001; Sarkar, 1985). Post-structuralist identity and language theory are the main sources for this work, first through the concept of colonial discourse: the use of semantic methods that legitimize colonial knowledge practices and define winners ’stories of high logic as authoritative truths and” the mission of civilization.

Post-colonial literature is an answer to the innate ideal of exclusive and exclusive ‘British’ identity and the various problems that come with colonialism . The term "post-colonial literature" itself is controversial (would you call Shakespeare's "pre-colonial literature") and is often used as a general term for many works that contradict traditional views of colonial literature. British canon. Modern English literature is often a dialogue between post-colonial themes and notions of British identity, reflecting the complexity of modern Britain. This is especially true when a literary work is written from the perspective of a person who grew up in the various diaspora communities that make up the majority of modern British society, vast complex field of subsequent research had a transformative effect on modern anthropology. Anthropologists have been pioneers of users from his interdisciplinary perspective, and have made major contributions to his complex reports on past and present global life and experiences. The call to prioritize colonialism and post-colonial perspectives in shaping the central research issues of anthropology has significantly expanded the scope and scope of this field, including whether colonialism should be seen as the most important founder of modernity. And he argues that in a world that demands the multidimensional structures proposed by today’s high-level theorists of globalization and cosmopolitanism, colonialism and post-colonial research still have a strong and productive future.
