Synopsis

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 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, whilst spatial images such as mobility, margins and exile abound in postcolonial writings, more material geographies have often been overlooked.
