"By not taking the well-trodden route of segmenting discussions of social geographies of gender, race, age, sex and so on, Del Casino is breaking the mould. He is offering something far superior ... [and] very accessible and student friendly." (Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, 2012)

 

Introducing the debates that inform current social geographic research and theory and interrogating the historical development of social geography, Social Geography: A Critical Introduction explores how urban and rural spaces are organized in ways that construct and maintain social inequality.

  • Puts into context the assumptions of various strains of social geographic thought as they have developed historically
  • Assists students in addressing key social geographic questions and methodologies
  • Provides a showcase for cutting edge work in the field
  • Is written in an accessible and lively style, setting out a wide breadth of social geographic research
