Issues surrounding identity and globalisation have received insufficient attention, inpart; this is because cultural issues are more delicate to talk about. This article wants to makes clear that globalisation and its ambitious Occidental plan has more negative than positive impacts all over the world. Still, it has problems on the way it conceptualises and represents the identity of the other, and the lack of respect to someone’s background. The current work aims at analysing the impact of the expansion of globalisation over some developing countries, which represent the voiceless, dominated individuals and groups. On this way, this article uses thepost-colonial perspective, as concludes that the empowered discourse from globalisation towards the subaltern nations can be considered the continuation of the dominant relation that the post-colonialism proposes to study.
