“…Cultural geography's examination of colonialism, both past and present, as a discursive and ideological force has had significant implications for the analysis of globalization, including the role of indigenous peoples (Nash, 2002;Clayton, 2003;Sharp, 2009). Inspired by Edward Said (1978), postcolonialism in many respects represents a fusion of political and cultural geography, one that grapples with the powerful material and discursive effects of Western hegemony.…”

Social theory and the analysis of spatiality have a long and rich history. Building on earlier traditions such as Marxism, feminism, and humanistic geography, this article addresses the major lines of conceptual thought in human geography in the early twenty-first century. It encompasses the discipline's major theoretical constructs under the broad umbrella of social constructivism and political economy, largely based on the work of Foucault. These precepts serve as a guide to the role and impacts of various forms of social theory in the analysis of multiple topics, including cultural geography, critical political geography, economic geography, the geographies of cyberspace, critical cartography, and GIS, and the social construction of nature.

“…Similarly, Jenny Robinson has written of the ‘perilously little theoretical or generalisable learning’ that Western scholars have derived from South Africa (Robinson 2003, 284. See also Minca 2000; Clayton 2003; Paasi 2005).…”

“…This threat played out as an inherently geographical phenomenon through cultural politics and colonial struggles over space. The relationship between Geography and colonialism is strong, if problematic (Bell et al 1995;Clayton 2003;Driver and Yeoh 2000;Smith and Godlewska 1994). Consequently, Geographers have generated a wealth of critical and reflective work on the diverse material and discursive elements of colonial encounters.…”

Colonial resettlement and cultural resistance: the mbira music of Zimbabwe

Across the colonial world, indigenous people were subjected to extensive resettlement projects that removed them from the lands of their ancestors, separating them from their economic foundations, disrupting their resource security and severing their cultural heritage. Many geographical studies have explored the ways in which indigenous communities, faced with resettlement, transgressed colonial space to express their resistance to the authority of colonial agents. This article examines the resistance of Zimbabwe's Shona population to colonial resettlement between the late 1800s and independence in 1980. But rather than focusing on landscapes of power or the mobility of indigenous people to plot politicised resistance to resettlement, I examine the way in which the musical landscapes of the Shona enabled them to resist the destructive cultural implications of resettlement. Framed within geographies of colonialism, resettlement and music, this article sets out the significance of the ancestral lands for the Shona before uncovering the way in which music enabled them to carry those lands with them to the resettlement areas, thereby preserving both culture and identity that could later be reinstated to sustain cultural nationalism during the struggle for independence.
