Writing Women and Space : Colonial and Postcolonial Geographies, Paperback / softback Book

Writing Women and Space : Colonial and Postcolonial Geographies Paperback / softback

Edited by Alison Blunt, Gillian Rose

Part of the Mappings: Society/Theory/Space series

Paperback / softback

Description

Drawing lessons from the complex and often contradictory position of white women writing in the colonial period, This unique book explores how feminism and poststructuralism can bring new types of understanding to the production of geographical knowledge.

Through a series of colonial and postcolonial case studies, essays address the ways in which white women have written and mapped different geographies, in both the late nineteenth century and today, illustrating the diverse objects (landscapes, spaces, views), the variety of media (letters, travel writing, paintings, sculpture, cartographic maps, political discourse), and the different understandings and representations of people and place.
