Abstract:
As geography has become influenced by such themes as postcolonial studies, feminism and psychoanalysis, so students have had to engage with ideas and concepts from outside the traditional boundaries of their subject. This exciting new book provides students with an invaluable aid to understanding the complexities and subtleties of these new ideas: it presents short essays exploring the key concepts in cultural geography written by leading practitioners. The essays range from questions that have recently emerged to more established ideas that warrant critical examination. The book will be invaluable to students of cultural geography and related disciplines.
