Post--colonialism of Robinson Crusoe
Abstract
up spirit on the desert island inspired generations of colonists and explorers. From the point of view of post-colonialism, Daniel
Defoe reflected the imperialism and colonialism of that time through this work. Robinson’s occupation, development and rule of
the desert island is exactly the process of colonizers creating colonies, which is a true portrayal of colonizers’ overseas expansion
and occupation. This paper makes a deeper interpretation of Robinson Crusoe and analyzes the colonialist thoughts in it.
