The method employed was descriptive and qualitative, where postcolonial theory served as the analytical lens that framed the colonial epistemologies from past to present. The results finding of this article, Child of All Nations, by Pramoedya Ananta Toer, demonstrates that aesthetic form operates as a mode of resistance.

By challenging the colonial narratives imposed upon him, the novel reveals aesthetic resistance to challenging power. Thus, the conclusion of this article is that the aesthetic resistance reclaims narrative authority and rewrites the East from the perspective of postcolonial identity.
