This book outlines how the theoretical ideas, empirical foci, and
methodological techniques of cultural geography make sense of the
‘culture wars’ that define our time. It is on the battleground of
culture that our opportunities, rights, and futures are determined and
Understanding Cultural Geography showcases how this discipline can be
used to understand these battles and how we can engage in them.
Through doing so, the book not only introduces the reader to the rich
and complex history of cultural geography, but also the key terms on
which the discipline is built. From these insights, the text
approaches place as an ‘ongoing composition of traces’,
highlighting the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the world around
us, and what our role can be in transforming it for the better. The
third edition has been fully revised and updated to incorporate recent
literature and reflect the changing cultural context of its time.
Retaining its exciting and innovative structure, the third edition
will expand its focus into new areas, including updated chapters on
ethnicity and race, and new chapters on gender and the body. This new
edition captures not only recent changes in the cultural world, but
also the discipline itself, offering the most up-to-date text to
understand and engage with the cultural battlegrounds which constitute
our lives. Understanding Cultural Geography is the ideal text for
students being introduced to the discipline through either
undergraduate or postgraduate degree courses. The third edition is an
important update to a highly successful text that incorporates a vast
foundation of knowledge; it is an invaluable book for lecturers and
students.
