How do we describe ourselves?
Where have we, do we, will we, live our lives?
Why are the differences between people a source of tension?
How can social change occur?
Social geography can assist in addressing these questions. It
provides ways of understanding and living in our contemporary
world.
Providing students with the resources to understand both the
theoretical and empirical approaches social geographers take when
investigating social difference, this text outlines key theoretical
approaches and traces the core geographies of difference: class,
gender, race/ethnicity, and sexuality. It concludes by showing how
geographers work across these ideas of difference to understand
questions of identity, power and action.
Using illustrative examples from around the world, Social
Geographies includes:
- Individual chapters on the main theoretical approaches to
difference
- Individual chapters on the key concepts of identity, power and
action
- Reviews of the core literature, with suggestions for further
reading
- Biographies of key contemporary social geographers
- Glossary of key terms
For students beginning human geography courses, or in social
geography modules, this book is the essential primer.
