While there has been for the past two decades a lively and
extensive academic debate about postcolonial representations of
imperialism and colonialism, there has been little work which
focuses on 'placed' materialist or critical geographical
perspectives. The contributors to this volume offer such a
perspective, asserting the inadequacy of conventional 'self/other'
binaries in postcolonial analysis which fail to recognise the
complex ways in which space and place were implicated in
constructing the individual experience of Empire. Illustrated with
case studies of British colonialism in Australia, Hong Kong, India,
Ireland and New Zealand in the later nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, the book uncovers the complex and unstable spaces of
meaning which were central to the experience of emigrants,
settlers, expatriates and indigenous peoples at different
time/place moments under British rule. In critically examining
place and hybridity within a discursive context, (Dis)placing
Empire offers new insights into the practice of Empire.
