Edge of Empire (eBook, PDF)

Postcolonialism and the City

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Edge of Empire examines struggles over urban space in three contemporary first world cities in an attempt to map the real geographies of colonialism and postcolonialism as manifest in modern society. From London, the one-time heart of the empire, to Perth and Brisbane, scenes of Aboriginal claims for the sacred in the space of the modern city, Jacobs emphasises the global geography of the local and unravels the spatialised cultural politics of postcolonial processes.
Edge of Empire forms the basis for understanding imperialism over space and time, and is a recognition of the unruly spatial politics of race and nation, nature and culture, past and present.

Rezensionen

'Tightly written and forcefully argued, Jane Jacobs does not just signpost the postcolonial, she also makes tracks and draws maps.' - Professor Nigel Thrift, University of Bristol, UK
