Edge of Empireexamines struggles over urban space in three contemporary first world cities in an attempt to map the real geographies of colonialism and postcolonialism as manifest in modern society. From London, the one-time heart of the empire, to Perth and Brisbane, scenes of Aboriginal claims for the sacred in the space of the modern city, Jacobs emphasises the global geography of the local and unravels the spatialised cultural politics of postcolonial processes.
Edge of Empireforms the basis for understanding imperialism over space and time, and is a recognition of the unruly spatial politics of race and nation, nature and culture, past and present.

CHOICE Review

Jacobs's addition to the rapidly growing literature of international urban social geography examines local conflict over urban space at four "transforming sites" in Britain and Australia. Her book will appeal most strongly to scholars of postcolonial processes and their consequences, in this case the aftermath of British imperialism both at its hearth and along its periphery. Jacobs's analysis is grounded in contemporary social theory and political economy, with case studies chosen to illustrate "spatial politics of race and nation, nature and culture, past and present." These vignettes focus on the redevelopment of central London's financial district, inner London's Asian immigrant community of Spitalfields, the Aboriginal movement to reclaim parts of Perth, and the emergence of hybrid social spaces in Brisbane. Although the text is well supported by maps, photos, and a copious bibliography for a work of this length, author and publisher should have done more to make the narrative accessible to uninitiated readers. Nonetheless, it is recommended for specialized collections in global urban studies and theoretical social science. Graduate, faculty. P. O. Muller University of Miami
