 Postcolonial IR attempts to expose such parochial assumptions of IR; for example, in the construction of white versus coloured peoples.An example is the IR story of a "white men's burden" to educate and liberate coloured men and women, to protect coloured women from coloured men.Often this is linked to other postpositivist theories, for example, through Postcolonial feminism, which analyze issues in IR through the lenses of gender and culture.
