Space, place and identity are key terms in the
formation of a colonial consciousness. 'Settling the
Self', examines the conjunction of these concepts in
its interdisciplinary study of the nineteenth-century
South African landscape. Locating aesthetic analyses
and postcolonial theory within a phenomenological
account of visual and spatial perception, Dubow
examines the colony as a site of desire and anxiety
in the making of a colonial identity and its
historical legacy. It addresses concerns of common
interest to cultural geographers, historians,
postcolonial theorists, art historians and others
interested in the meaning and experience of landscape.
