I'm starting a Literature degree this autumn and one of the compulsory courses is on postcolonial theory, the issue is I just don't really find this field to be very appealing to my own interests. I can appeal somewhat to my own family history in being immigrants from colonised countries, but when it comes to analysing texts in light of colonialism I don't find it to be a particularly interesting task. I genuinely want to appreciate postcolonialism and enjoy studying it because I understand the importance, but I don't know how to frame it in a way that appeals to me. What am I missing and how do I begin appreciating it?

Edit: Any reading recommendations would be appreciated
