Place, Culture, and Politics is edited by
Neil Smith, Graduate Center, City University of New York. Many of
the most pressing political issues today are widely understood to
occupy the nexus between place, culture and politics. Books in this
series will make clear the pivotal role of space and place in questions
of politics and culture. The series is interdisciplinary, ranging
freely between the social sciences and humanities and, to a lesser
extent, the physical and life sciences. The primary aim of these
texts will be to influence public opinion more than to increase
the purely academic stock of knowledge. Books will be explicitly
political; they will have a point of view, multiple points of view,
and will engage current events and ideas. |
