Preferred term

race and empire  

Definition

  • The legacies of geography's historical complicity with the racialized logic of empire are profound and have had significant impacts on the ways in which race, racism, and racialization have been approached within geography. The geographies of empire from the late 19th century through the early 20th century demanded attention to a theorization of race; however, as Britain's imperial ambitions waned, the centrality of the study of race within the discipline was displaced.
