Cultural Geography

by Deryck W. Holdsworth and Don Mitchell

Published 30 September 1998
This reader explores the origins, direction and theoretical perspectives that have invigorated the field of cultural geography over the past two decades. Much of this renewed interest centres around a post-colonial and post-industrial world that draws on different literatures and case studies from those typically associated with inquiry in this area. The selection here seeks to offer a representative cross-section of these current statements. Each section is prefaced by an editorial introduction, specific extracts are contextualized in introductory paragraphs, and an annotated bibliography offers suggestions for further reading.
