Document Summary
A sub discipline of human geography concerned with the geographies of the past and with the influence of the past in shaping the geographies of the present and future (dictionary of human geography) Prevents the mindset that globalization has been a reality forever, just because it is the reality now. Map: human-environment relationships, the production of nature, see reading by rebecca solnit. A type of geopolitical relationship, a system of power: the aggressive encroachment of one people upon the territory of another, resulting in the subjugation of the latter people to alien rule (donald meinig) Colonialism, then, is the actual process of subjugation: the building of an empire through the construction of colonies. The imaginative geographies of colonialism: edward said (1935-2003) just as none of us is outside or beyond geography, none of us is completely free form the struggle over geography.
