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.
