Contested Worlds provides an introduction both to a multitude of
geographical worlds which are currently being actively constructed
and contested, and to a range of different perspectives on these
worlds being adopted and contested by geographers. It is unique in
its focus on the role of contestation in both the construction of
geographical studies and in the geographies these studies seek to
address. These issues are explored through a combination of general
theoretical discussion and detailed international case studies. The
areas discussed range in scale from the global, through the
regional and national to the local worlds of the inner city, the
neighbourhood and the village, with connections drawn between these
scales. The book concludes that geography is being made in quite
different ways. It asserts that geography is intrinsically a
contested enterprise, and that this should be embraced as part of
geographers becoming more critically involved in the making, and
studying, of new contemporary human geographies.
