Gender and colonial space is a trenchant analysis of the complex
relation between social relations - including notions of class,
nationality and gender - and spatial relations, landscape,
architecture and topography - in post-colonial contexts. Arguing
against much of the psychoanalytic focus of much current
post-colonial theory, Mills aims to set out in a new direction,
drawing on a wide range of literary and non-literary texts to
develop a more materialist approach. She foregrounds gender in this
field where it has often been marginalised by the critical
orthodoxies, demonstrating its importance not only in spatial
theorising in general, but in the post-colonial theorising of space
in particular. Concentrating on the period of 'high' British
colonialism at the close of the nineteenth century, she adroitly
examines a range of contexts, looking at a range of colonial
contexts such as India, Africa, America, Canada, Australia and
Britain, illustrating how relations must be analysed for the way in
which different colonial contexts define and constitute each other.
