This book explores the multiple histories of critical geography as
it developed in 14 different locations around the globe, whilst
bringing together a range of approaches in critical geography. It
is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive account of a wide
variety of historical geographies of critical geography from around
the world. Accordingly, the chapters provide accounts of the
development of critical approaches in geography from beyond the
hegemonic Anglo-American metropoles. Bringing together geographers
from a wide range of regional and intellectual milieus, this volume
provides a critical overview that is international and illustrates
the interactions (or lack thereof) between different critical
geographers, working across a range of spaces. The chapters provide
a more nuanced history of critical geography, suggesting that while
there were sometimes strong connections with Anglo-American
critical geography, there were also deeply independent developments
that were part of the construction of very different kinds of
critical geography in different parts of the world. Placing
Critical Geographies provides an excellent companion to existing
histories of critical geography and will be important reading for
researchers as well as undergraduate and graduate students of the
history and philosophy of geography.

Migration is one of the key issues in Ireland today. This book
provides a new and original approach to understanding contemporary
Irish migration and immigration, showing that they are processes
that need to be understood together rather than separately. It uses
a wide range of data - from statistical reports to in-depth
qualitative studies - to show these connections. The book focuses
on four key themes - work, social connections, culture and
belonging - that are common to the experiences of immigrants,
emigrants and internal migrants. It includes a wide selection of
case studies, such as the global GAA, the campaign for emigrant
voting, and the effects of migration on families. Clearly written
and accessible, this book is an invaluable resource for students
and scholars of Irish migration. It also has broader relevance, as
it suggests a new approach to the study of migration nationally and
internationally. -- .
This edited collection explores Ireland's complex relationship with
migration in novel and innovative ways. The contributors - leading
scholars of migration from the disciplines of anthropology,
geography, history, media studies, sociology, sociolinguistics and
women's studies - draw on new research to provide insights into
emigration from and immigration to Ireland, both past and present.
The chapters, which range from the nineteenth to the twenty-first
century, cover topics as diverse as migrant women and children in
Ireland, the role of the Irish Catholic in migration networks, and
recent Irish migration to Australia. They are organised around
three cross-cutting themes: networks, belonging and intersections.
They focus on the migratory process rather than on migration as a
uni-directional movement of people. Though centred on Ireland, the
collection has broader implications for the ways in which migration
is conceptualised. The collection will appeal to scholars of
migration and Irish studies, and to readers with backgrounds in a
range of social science and humanities disciplines, including
geography and sociology. -- .

Providing new insights into the politics of migration and
citizenship in the UK and the US, this book challenges the
increasingly prevalent view of migration and migrants as threats
and of formal citizenship as a necessary marker of belonging.
Instead the authors offer an analysis of migration and citizenship
in practice, as a counterpoint to simplistic discourses. The book
uses cutting-edge academic work on migration and citizenship to
address three themes central to current debates - borders and
walls, mobility and travel, and belonging.
