Whereas the colonial archive places the British administrator at the center, surveying and documenting for- eign subjects, postcolonial literature places the former subjects at the center and makes possible the exposure of the distortions and manipulations of the historical record.
Postcolonial scholarship has demonstrated how the colonial archive was shaped by the aims of its creators and how interpretation of the archive always depends on the perspective of its interpreters.
The colonial archive has been much scrutinised as a source of imperial power.
