Violent Geographies

Zusatztext "Violent Geographies is...a much needed volume that focuses on the many forms and victims of terrorism and defines terror (whether perpetuated by states or nonstate actors) as a form of calculated political action with defined goals. In demonstrating the ability and desire of geographers to analyze and critique contemporary political violence! this book is most effective and a vital contribution." -- Colin Flint! Annals of the Association of American Geographers Informationen zum Autor Derek Gregory is Professor of Geography at the University of British Columbia. He taught for many years at Cambridge before moving to UBC, and is the author of numerous books: Ideology, Science, and Human Geography (1978); Regional Transformations and Industrial Revolution (1982); Geographical Imaginations (1994); The Colonial Present (Blackwell, 2004); and the forthcoming Dancing on the Pyramids (U of Minnesota Press, 2005). He is also co-editor of all four editions of the Dictionary of Human Geography ( Blackwell) and is currently the co-editor of the journal Society and Space . Allan Pred is Professor of Geography at the University of California-Berkeley. He is the author of a very large number of books, with two published by Harvard, one by Cambridge, one by Minnesota, one by California, and one by Routledge. Klappentext Derek Gregory and Allan Pred's "Violent Geographies" gathers together a group of young and well established geographers to look at how territory and space delimit and shape both terrorism and political violence in wide range of places, from the Middle East to Latin America. In short, the book shows how physical violence, especially terrorism, disrupts the distinction between the global and the local by injecting transnational politics into the intimacies of everyday life." Violent Geographies" also shows how terrorism is not simply used by nonstate groups --states use it as well, including many of America's allies. It goes far beyond 9/11 moving backward in history and across the globe to other locales to get at the heightened states of emergency that are occurring everywhere. Zusammenfassung This is a perceptive collection of essays that explores the complexity of political violence across the globe, they explore the historical pasts of places and regions to understand the turmoil of political violence that permeates the present.
