Difficult theoretical jargon is demystified and the generous use of illustrations and quotes from both academic and popular sources means students can work with manageable measures of primary material. This book has succeeded in delivering a meaningful conversation between political economic accounts of development and cultural accounts of identity. It is a must-have for anyone studying colonialism and post-colonialism.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-\u003cem\u003e Jane M Jacobs, Institute of Geography, University of Edinburgh\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeographies of Post-Colonialism\u003c\/strong\u003e introduces the principal themes and theories relating to postcolonialism.
