In this innovative reader, Pamela Moss and Karen Falconer Al-Hindi
present a unique, reflective approach to what feminist geography is
and who feminist geographers are. Their carefully crafted textbook
invigorates feminist debates about space, place, and knowledges
with a fine balance among teaching chapters, reprints, and original
essays. Offering an anthology that actually questions the very
purpose of an anthology, the editors create and then negotiate a
tension between reinforcing and destabilizing scholarly authority.
They challenge the idea that there is one set of works that acts as
the vision, interpretation, voice, and feel of feminist geography
while both reproducing key previously published works and including
fresh essays from a number of feminist geographers in a single
volume. The first chapter frames feminism, geography, and knowledge
as a melange of ideas, principles, and practices. Each of the three
major sections of the volume begins with an introductory essay that
places individual contributions into the overarching argument about
the construction of feminist geography. Each introduction is then
followed by a combination of reprints and original essays that
contribute both to understanding how feminist geographical
knowledge is constructed differently in different places and to
showing what feminist geographers do wherever they are. The final
chapter extends the anti-anthology arguments and raises questions
that feminisms in geographies have yet to address. Students and
scholars will find both the approach and the discussion essential
for a full and nuanced understanding of feminist geography.
