The article deals with the appropriation of postcolonial studies to lookat Central Europe and Galicia. Beginning with the concept of “internalcolonialism“, we follow the evolution of postcolonial theory from a basicallyeconomy-based concept into a poststructuralist cultural theory, presentingthe development and uses of its central concepts, such as Orientalism or othering . Based on some examples, we also highlight its previous appropria-tion to Central Europe and the political implications it carries in this region.
