Places and Traces examines how cultural geography helps us understand the 'culture wars' of our time. This study book by Jon Anderson offers an in-depth analysis of cultural conflicts and argues how insights from the discipline can be used to interpret and engage with these debates.
Book description
This book presents a thorough exploration of cultural geography and explains how the concept of 'places and traces' regards place and culture as dynamic and changeable processes. Understanding Cultural Geography covers the key concepts and methods of the field and thereby provides a contemporary framework for analyzing cultural conflicts and identities in today’s society.
The third edition has been completely revised and expanded with up-to-date literature. New chapters focus on themes such as ethnicity, race, gender, and the body, enabling this edition to align with recent societal and academic developments. This makes the book an indispensable tool for students and lecturers in human geography.
