Postcolonial Geographies

Abstract

Geography has long been caught up in imperial projects. Postcolonial geography critiques and seeks to subvert this relationship. It builds on radical antecedents in the 1970s, whereby geographers critiqued their subject's relationship with nineteenth‐ and earlier twentieth‐century colonialism and examined neo‐imperialism. Since then, and increasingly since the 1990s, geographers have offered a range of postcolonial geographies that acknowledge and work through both imperial legacies and colonial pasts and presents. This work has posited postcolonial alternatives, examined structures of race and racism and challenged Eurocentrism, while tracing the trajectory of postcolonial theory.
