Tulisan paper ini menggunakan pendekatan filsafat sejarah kritis. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptis- analitis. Penjajahan fisik dan peperangan pada saat merebut kemerdekaan sudah tidak tepat lagi dilakukaan pada saat ini. Pada era sekarang ini kolonialisme ini bentuknya macam-macam ada melalui kebijakan kebijakan dan bahkan jual beli aset-aset negara dan politik ekonomi luar negeri yang berdampak pada kemiskinan dan pengangguran serta penderitaan rakyat Indonesia. Dengan demikian, postkolonial yang terjadi pasca reformasi dan di era millenial ini perlu mendapatka perhatian khusus, upaya memutus mata rantai postkolonial, para pemangku kebijakan dan para birokrat bangsa Indonesia ini juga perlu belajar dari sejarah (history) masa lalu untuk mengatasi persoalan kebangsaan pada masa kini dan untuk menatap masa depan yang lebih baik.
