Dalla quarta di copertina

Spatial Histories of Radical Geography offers a systematic and comprehensive approach to the history of radical geography in North America, and its relationship with the rest of the world. With contributions from an international group of scholars, the book takes a geographical approach to the emergence and development of radical geography, focussing on the roles of place, spatial circulation and geographical scale.

This collection reviews North American radical geography from its early beginnings in the 1950s to the 1980s after which it became an established approach within Anglophone human geography. Drawing on both oral histories by early radical geographers and private and public archives, the volume contains a wealth of never-before published historical material.

With a dual emphasis on radical geography’s theoretical innovations and grounded political practice, Spatial Histories of Radical Geography serves as both a wide-ranging introduction and indispensable professional reference.
