An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool
University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the
Opening the Future project with COPIM. Drawing on the rich personal
archive of the geographer Josue de Castro, this book tells a new
history of geography by following one of the twentieth century's
most influential and creative Brazilian intellectuals from the
estuarine city of Recife to the halls of the UN, the chambers of
Brasilia, and exile amid the political fervour of the universities
of Paris in 1968. This is the first English language book on the
absorbing life of Josue de Castro. It follows modern anticolonial
geographical thought in formation, re-reading Castro's metabolic,
humanist geography as the anchor of a utopian practice of freedom:
the demand for a world without hunger. Starting from Castro's life
and work, the book offers new takes on the history of nutrition,
translation in geography, Brazilian modernist art and practice in
post-war internationalism, the radical geographical intellectual,
the problem of the region in the Brazilian Northeast, and the birth
of political ecology and critical environmental thought. At once a
biographical intellectual history and a work of geographical
theory, this innovative book tells the story of 20th century
geography from a new angle and in new company.
