Abstract	This paper examines the evolving paradigms of postcolonial and decolonial studies as manifested in contemporary English literature. By interrogating theoretical frameworks and narrative strategies, the study explores how authors negotiate issues of identity, power, and cultural hybridity in the aftermath of colonial domination. A comparative textual analysis of selected contemporary works reveals that while postcolonial narratives focus on reclaiming identity and resisting cultural imperialism, decolonial approaches extend this critique by challenging the underlying epistemological assumptions of modernity. The synthesis of these perspectives not only deepens our understanding of literary representation but also offers a framework for reimagining global cultural narratives in a multipolar world.
Keywords	Postcolonial studies decolonial studies, contemporary literature, narrative analysis, cultural hybridity, and identity politics.
