DESCRIPTION
Subaltern Geographies is the first book-length discussion
addressing the relationship between the historical innovations of
subaltern studies and the critical intellectual practices and
methodologies of cultural, urban, historical, and political
geography. This edited volume explores this relationship by
attempting to think critically about space and spatial
categorizations.
Editors Tariq Jazeel and Stephen Legg ask, What
methodological-philosophical potential does a rigorously
geographical engagement with the concept of subalternity pose for
geographical thought, whether in historical or contemporary
contexts? And what types of craft are necessary for us to seek out
subaltern perspectives both from the past and in the present? In so
doing, Subaltern Geographies engages with the implications
for and impact on disciplinary geographical thought of subaltern
studies scholarship, as well as the potential for such thought. In
the process, it probes new spatial ideas and forms of learning in
an attempt to bypass the spatial categorizations of methodological
nationalism and Eurocentrism.
