Book Synopsis Dissident Geographies by : Alison Blunt

Download or read book Dissident Geographies written by Alison Blunt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dissident Geographies is an accessible and lively exploration of radical perspectives in human geography. The perspectives examined in the book reveal and resist certain power relations that have constituted geographical knowledge. The book has two main aims. First, rather than reify 'the' geographical tradition, Dissident Geographies introduces a number of geographical traditions that challenge and destabilize what counts as geographical knowledge. Second, the book shows how the production of geographical knowledge is tied to politics and struggles outside as well as within the academy. In each chapter, case studies illustrate the spatiality of political practice and the politics of geographical thought. In this way Dissident Geographies reveals the connections between power, politics and geographical knowledge.
