About the Book

This Reader recounts the story of the emergence and impact of postmodern thought in human geography. The editors have brought together in a single volume the pivotal writings of the period since 1965. Through these, and their connecting narratives, the editors engage what has been the most invigorating intellectual roller-coaster ride in geography's recent history.


  • Recounts the story of the emergence and impact of postmodern thought in human geography.
  • Brings together in a single volume the pivotal writings of the period since 1965.
  • Engages with what has been the most invigorating intellectual roller-coaster ride in geography's recent history.
  • Eraces the shift in human geography from a plethora of pre-postmodern paradigms to the emergence of a postmodern consciousness.
  • Outlines an agenda for a postmodern human geographical theory and practice that sympathetically intersects with feminism, postcolonialism, cultural studies, and environmentalism.
