Geographies of Postcolonialism introduces the principal themes and theories relating to postcolonialism. Written from a geographical perspective, the text includes extended explanations of the cultural and material aspects of the subject.

Exploring postcolonialism through the geographies of imagination, knowledge, and power, the text is split into three comprehensive sections:

Colonialisms discusses Western representations of the "Other" and the relationship between this and the European self image
Neo-colonialisms discusses the continuing legacies of colonial ways of knowing through an examination of global culture, tourism, and popular culture
Postcolonialisms discusses the core arguments about postcolonialism and culture with a focus on "hybridity"

Intended Audience
Comprehensive and accessible, illustrated with learning features throughout, Geographies of Postcolonialism is the key resource for students in geography and development.

About the Author

Jo Sharp is Professor of Geography at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. She is a feminist political geographer with research interests in postcolonialism, global health and critical geopolitics, and has undertaken collaborative research in Egypt and Tanzania. Her early work sought to extend what is considered to be the geopolitical beyond the formal spheres of statecraft to include popular culture and the everyday, and this has continued through more recent postcolonial work on subaltern geopolitics. She has co-edited Bedouins by the Lake (with Ahmed Belal, John Briggs and Irina Springuel), The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Political Geography (with John Agnew, Virginia Mamadouh and Anna Secor), and Imagine a Country (with Val McDermid). In 2022 she became the sixth Geographer Royal of Scotland.
