Shauna:  I agree with some of what you're saying about postcoloniality,
but what would you say to the historian, who might quibble that your
take on it flattens the landscape a little, since you "don't see the
colonizer" as absent at all.  My own position, for the record, is closer'to yours than to this hypothetical historiean, but I have wondered myself
what happens to the historical "fact" of decolonization, quite apart from
the fact of recolonization etc.
(or, rather, neocolonization as recolonization, I meant to say)
