This new book brings together Doreen Masseya s key writings on
three areas central to a range of disciplines. In addition, the
author reflects on the development of these ideas and outlines her
current position on these important issues. The book is organized
around the three themes of space, place and gender. It traces the
development of ideas about the social nature of space and place and
the relation of both to issues of gender and debates within
feminism. It is debates in these areas which have been crucial in
bringing geography to the centre of social sciences thinking in
recent years, and this book includes writings that have been
fundamental to that process. Beginning with the economy and social
structures of production, it develops a wider notion of spatiality
as the product of intersecting social relations. In turn this has
lead to conceptions of a placea as essentially open and hybrid,
always provisional and contested. These themes intersect with much
current thinking about identity within both feminism and cultural
studies. Each of the themes is preceded by a section which reflects
on the development of ideas and sets out the context of their
production. The introduction assesses the current state of play and
argues for the close relationship of new thinking on each of these
themes. This book will be of interest to students in geography,
social theory, womena s studies and cultural studies.
