Abstract: Since the beginning of the 21^st century,there has arisen in the field of postcolonial studies a new trend.Started by Latin American thinkers and American scholars and centering around the concept of “decoloniality”,it has evinced significantly different aims and interests from Anglo-American postcolonial studies and drew broad attention in the field of cross-cultural studies.This new trend finds its concrete expression in a monograph titled On Decoloniality,published recently by the Duke University Press and in a group of articles recently published in the journal of Postcolonial Studies in 2020.It is therefore necessary to introduce the book with the new direction in postcolonial studies to the Chinese academia and to analyze the new trend in postcolonial criticism by voicing the opinions of Chinese scholars on the theory of decoloniality.

Key words: postcolonial studies, decoloniality, decolonization, spiritual colonization, comparative cultural studies
