TWICE COLONIZED: FEMALE ORIENTALISM AND ORIENTAL FEMALES

Author(s) Dr. Joy Jacob

Abstract Patriarchal oppression coupled with Orientalist manipulation of native women fore grounded the postcolonial feminist notion of double colonization and gave it theoretical credence. Ever since the beginning of human existence, patriarchal order has greatly impacted on almost everything in the world. Patriarchy is also a part of colonization and imperialism. Women had to fight the double colonization of patriarchal domination in its local as well as its imperial forms. Double colonization’ refers to how women have simultaneously experienced the oppression of colonialism and patriarchy. Women are subject to representation in colonial discourses in ways that collude with patriarchal values. One of the most dominant concepts in postcolonial feminism is ‘Double Colonization’. It represents a key concept within Postcolonial Feminist discourse, positing that women in colonized and pre-colonized territories confront a dual subjugation wherein they are compelled to adhere to patriarchal norms within their local communities while simultaneously conforming to the dictates of colonial rulers. Thus, women contend with the imposition of both patriarchal and colonial structures, resulting in what is termed as double colonization.
