The geography of culture has held a sustained attraction for
some of the most distinguished and promising geographers of the
twentieth century. These notable voices have now been brought
together to explore the cultural landscape in this fresh,
encompassing survey of one of geography's most vital research
areas.
In Re-reading Cultural Geography, a worthy successor to the
original and now classic Readings in Cultural Geography (1962), the
editors have gathered articles, essays, and new commentaries, as
well as extensive annotated reading lists and a comprehensive
bibliography, into a book that will be ideal for undergraduate and
graduate courses of all levels.
Assessing an intellectual world far different from the one
defined in the earlier volume, Re-reading Cultural Geography
uncovers the common themes of a vibrant, often clamorous
discipline. Broadly defined, these include "how the world
looks"--the patternings of cultural traits and material artifacts;
"how the world works"--the dynamics of human organizations in
interaction with the environment; and "what the world means"--the
systems of shared values and beliefs that shape communities.
