"Drawing on a course road tested for over a decade, Sharp has
delivered an invaluable aid for teaching students about the complex
political, cultural and spatial logics of colonialism and
post-colonialism. Difficult theoretical jargon is demystified and
the generous use of illustrations and quotes from both academic and
popular sources means students can work with manageable measures of
primary material. This book has succeeded in delivering a
meaningful conversation between political economic accounts of
development and cultural accounts of identity. It is a must-have
for anyone studying colonialism and post-colonialism." - Jane M
Jacobs, Institute of Geography, University of Edinburgh Geographies
of Post-Colonialism 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
post-colonialism 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. Post-colonialisms discusses the core arguments
about post-colonialism and culture with a focus on 'hybridity'.
Comprehensive and accessible, illustrated with learning features
throughout, Geographies of Post-Colonialism will be the key
resource for students in human geography and development studies.
