Cultural Geography: A Critical Dictionary of Key Concepts

by David Sibley (Editor), Peter Jackson (Editor), David Atkinson (Editor)

As geography has become influenced by such themes such as postcolonial studies, feminism and psychoanalysis, so students have been forced to engage with ideas and concepts from outside the traditional boundaries of their subject. This exciting new work provides them with an invaluable aid to understanding the complexities and subtleties of these new ideas. The editors present some thirty essays--written by a wide range of leading practitioners--exploring the key concepts in cultural geography. The essays range from questions that have recently emerged to more established ideas that warrant critical examination. The work will be invaluable to students of cultural geography and related disciplines.

[Thomas Riccio · Rating 3 out of 5]

A solid introduction and overview of the subject. All of the key areas of the cultural geography are given a few pages--enough to get you thinking. Each section has a helpful bibliography for further reading. The field has evolved since the book's publication so some of the references are dated.
