"With clarity and confidence, this vibrant volume summons up 'the
social' in geography in ways that will excite students and scholars
alike. Here the social is populated not only by society, but by
culture, nature, economy and politics." - Kay Anderson, University
of Western Sydney "This is a remarkable collection, full of
intellectual gems. It not only summarises the field of social
geography, and restates its importance, but also produces a
manifesto for how the field should look in the future." - Nigel
Thrift, Vice-Chancellor, University of Warwick "The book aims to be
accessible to students and specialists alike. Its success lies in
emphasizing the crossovers between geography and social studies.
The good editorial work is evident and the participating
contributors are well-established scholars in their respective
fields." - Miron M. Denan, Geography Research Forum "An excellent
handbook that will attract a diversity of readers. It will inspire
undergraduate/postgraduate students and stimulate
lecturers/researchers interested in the complexity and diversity of
the social realm.... As the first of its kind in the
sub-discipline, it is a book that is enjoyable to read and will
definitely add value to a personal or library collection." -
Michele Lobo, New Zealand Geographer The social relations of
difference - from race and class to gender and inequality - are at
the heart of the concept of social geography. This handbook
reconsiders and redirects research in the discipline while
examining the changing ideas of individuals and their relationship
with structures of power. Organised into five sections, the SAGE
Handbook of Social Geographies maps out the 'connections' anchored
in social geography. Difference and Diversity builds on enduring
ideas of the structuring of social relations and examines the
ruptures and rifts, and continuities and connections around social
divisions. Geographies and Social Economies rethinks the sociality,
subjectivity and placement of money, markets, price and value.
Geographies of Wellbeing builds from a foundation of work on the
spaces of fear, anxiety and disease towards newer concerns with
geographies of health, resilience and contentment. Geographies of
Social Justice connects ideas through an examination of the
possibilities and practicalities of normative theory and frames the
central notion of Social geography, that things always could and
should be different. Doing Social Geography is not exploring the
'how to' of research, but rather the entanglement of it with
practicalities, moralities, and politics. This will be an essential
resource for academics, researchers, practitioners and
postgraduates across human geography.
