Postcolonial Geographies

Editat de Alison Blunt, Cheryl McEwan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – feb 2003
Postcolonialism and geography are intimately linked through the spatiality of colonial discourse as well as the material effects of colonialism and decolonization.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, while spatial images such as mobility, margins and exile abound in postcolonial writings, more material geographies have often been overlooked.Postcolonial Geographies presents the first 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.

Sidaway, John Wylie

Recenzii

"Postcolonial Geographies is long overdue. It will help in moving postcolonial discourse beyond its preoccupation with deconstructing colonial texts or engaging in narrow forms of cultural criticism."--Haripriya Rangan, Monash University
"...a spirited attempt to chart the contours of a postcolonial geography, and what constitutes 'a meaningfully decolonized geography' (p.6), in an ecumenical and reflexive manner. Blunt and McEwan should be congratulated on organizing the gamut of themes tackled by the authors into three fairly coherent sections...The volume opens up a vibrant intellectual space in which we might start to tell more intricately geographical stories about what it means to find one's place in a world that has been fundamentally transformed by imperialism's core logic of de-territorialization and re-terroritorialization, and ongoing landscaping of power." -Daniel Clayton, Janus Head
