The intersection of postcolonial critical theory and the practice of geography necessitates the consideration of the rhetorics of place and identity, the spatial nature of cultural change, and the systems of power promoted by the discipline itself. Blunt (geography, U. of London, UK) and McEwan (human geography, U. of Birmingham, UK) present 12 papers that explore such topics as networks of knowledge in South Africa and elsewhere in the British Empire; citizenship and urban space in India and South Africa; and nationalism and identity.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Postcolonialism and geography are intimately linked through the spatiality of colonial discourse as well as the material effects of colonialism and decolonisation. Geographical ideas about space, place, landscape, and location have helped to articulate different experiences of colonialism both in the past and present and the 'here' and 'there'. At the same time, whilst spatial images such as mobility, margins and exile abound in postcolonial writings, more material geographies have often been overlooked. This title presents a sustained geographical analysis of postcolonialism. Exploring and developing the connections between postcolonialism and geography, the essays in this book - ranging across Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, and North America - investigate the geographies of postcolonialism and chart the contours of a postcolonial geography. Contributors include: Morag Bell, Claire Dwyer, Haydie Gooder, Jane M. Jacobs, M. Satish Kumar, Alan Lester, Mark McGuinness, Karen M. Morin, Richard Phillips, Marcus Power, Jenny Robinson, James D. Sidaway, and John Wylie. This text presents a sustained geographical analysis of postcolonialism. Exploring and developing the connections between postcolonialism and geography, the essays in the book investigate the geographies of postcolonialism. This item is printed on demand.
