Doreen Massey (1944-2016) changed geography. Her ideas on space,
region, labour, identity, ethics and capital transformed the field
itself, while also attracting a wide audience in sociology,
planning, political economy, cultural studies, gender studies and
beyond. The significance of her contributions is difficult to
overstate. Far from a dry defence of disciplinary turf, her claim
that "geography matters" possessed both scholarly substance and
political salience. Through her most influential concepts - such as
power-geometries and a "global sense of place" - she insisted on
the active role of regions and places not simply in bearing the
brunt of political-economic restructuring, but in reshaping the
uneven geographies of global capitalism and the horizons of
politics. In capturing how global forces articulated with the
particularities of place, Massey's work, right up until her death,
was an inspiration for critical social sciences and political
activists alike. It integrated theory and politics in the service
of challenging and transforming both. This collection of Massey's
writings brings together for the first time the full span of her
formative contributions, showcasing the continuing relevance of her
ideas to current debates on globalization, immigration, nationalism
and neoliberalism, among other topics. With introductions from the
editors, the collection represents an unrivalled distillation of
the range and depth of Massey's thinking. It is sure to remain an
essential touchstone for social theory and critical geography for
generations to come.
