Alizadeh H: Women's Empowerment Through
Public Space

Women's Empowerment Through Public Space

Gendered Urban Experiences Across the Middle East and Europe

A Human History

The Search for Water

This timely exploration of social geography reveals how inequality and justice unfold across interconnected scales around the globe. Through embodied, relational encounters, the book unpacks how everyday spaces shape who we are and what we might become. Grounded in care and hope, it invites readers to imagine fairer futures and remain committed to meaningful, long-term change.The text offers a dynamic, case-driven and sometimes image-driven exploration of pressing social issues in our increasingly unequal, post-pandemic world. Designed for student engagement, the book provides real-world case studies that span the globe, critical concepts, and thought-provoking questions to help readers analyse injustice, build conceptual "toolkits," and imagine routes toward meaningful social change. Rather than offering easy answers, this book equips readers with flexible, practical frameworks-encouraging selective, critical thinking to better understand and communicate complex social problems. Ideal for classroom use and independent study, it empowers students to connect theory with action and to think like geographers committed to justice. The book also includes Engagement Questions, encouraging readers to reflect on the subject of the chapter and the wider topics within the field of social geography.This book is essential reading for students of social and political geography, and allied fields of urban, health and wellbeing, and political geographies.

For decades, gentrification research has predominantly focused on large cities. Arguing that gentrification has occurred throughout the urban hierarchy, Ravuri fills this gap in the literature by analyzing gentrification and displacement patterns in twelve medium-sized cities, spread across the four census regions of the US.

The work delves into the core philosophy of organic landscapes, articulating their essence and value from ecological, spatial, and human-centric perspectives. It innovatively proposes design strategies centered on holism, integration, dynamism, and resilience to create vibrant and sustainable landscape spaces. This design paradigm prioritizes not only aesthetic quality but also ecological functionality and social impact. Beyond showcasing rich practical examples, the book critically examines the theoretical frameworks and methodologies underlying organic landscape design. It serves as an invaluable reference for practitioners, students, and enthusiasts in landscape architecture, urban-rural planning, architecture, ecology, and related fields, offering both inspiration and pragmatic insights.

Mit gesellschaftlichem und technischem Wandel gehen neue Anforderungen an die Wissenschaft einher: Sie muss Ansprüchen an Zugänglichkeit und Partizipationsmöglichkeiten gerecht werden und eine engagierte Mitgestaltung der Gesellschaft durch vielfältigen Wissenstransfer ermöglichen. Allerdings wächst das Misstrauen gegenüber wissenschaftlichem Wissen und technologiebasierten Problemlösungen. Zudem ist das Feld von einer kontinuierlichen Vervielfältigung von Verantwortlichkeit, Vermittlungsformaten und Akteur*innen-Konstellationen geprägt. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes analysieren diese Spannungsfelder aus interdisziplinären Perspektiven und ziehen dazu aktuelle und historische Beispiele heran.

Key Concepts in Human Geography

Key Concepts in Cultural Geography

This book examines 'womanhood' and 'race' not only as disputed, converging, and constantly changing categories and lived experiences, but also as interrelated and unequal subjectivities and social realties that shaped all early-twentieth century Puerto Ricans. It empirically documents just how significantly 'womanhood' and 'race' were inextricably intertwined in Puerto Rico between 1914 and 1945, a decisive period in U.S. expansionism and in the transformation of this island. Through a comparative analysis and description of specific subjects in early-twentieth century Puerto Rico—mostly Puerto Ricans from different races and social classes, but also some North Americans as well—the book demonstrates the extent to which 'womanhood' and 'race' are a more thorny, volatile, and unstable than is commonly acknowledged within Women’s History and Caribbean Studies. This is the first book that examines the relationships between women in Puerto Rico from divergent social classes and racialized positions by mostly focusing on the socioeconomic and racial inequalities among colonized women in Puerto Rico. This is in marked contrast with most Women’s History globally which mainly concentrates either on the lives of elite women or, at best, on the unequal relationships between colonizer- and/or European-descended women vis-à-vis colonized- and/or non-white women. In this book 'womanhood' and 'race' are not seen as separate, nor as already given, historically and culturally immutable 'things.’ Those are some of the lacunae this book transcends, primarily in the case of white-Creole women relative to non-white Island women and the images socially constructed of them in Puerto Rico, as well as for racially located Puerto Ricans more broadly. Within this context, the book enables a different reading of already known documents while demonstrating the importance of examining unused or forgotten bibliographical sources, some of them previously untranslated.Gladys M.

Labile Bodies, Colonial Disparities

Womanhood and Race in Interwar Puerto Rico

'This book did nothing less than make me re-see the world . . . Original, and very clever' Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland Borders draw one map of the world; money draws another. A journalist's riveting account exposes a parallel universe exempt from the laws of the land, and how the wealthy and powerful benefit from it. The map of the globe shows the world we think we know: sovereign nations that grant and restrict their citizens' rights. Beneath, above, and tucked inside its neatly delineated borders, however, a parallel universe has been engineered into existence, consisting of thousands of extraterritorial zones that operate largely autonomously, increasingly for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful. Atossa Abrahamian traces the rise of the hidden globe to thirteenth-century Switzerland, where poor cantons marketed the commodity they had - bodies, in the form of mercenary fighters. Following its evolution around the world, she reveals how prize-winning economists, eccentric theorists, visionary statesmen, and consultants masterminded its export in the form of free trade zones, flags of convenience, offshore detention centres where immigrants languish in limbo, and charter cities controlled by foreign governments and multinational corporations-and even into outer space, where tiny Luxembourg aspires to mining rights on asteroids. By mapping the hidden geography that decides who wins and who loses in this new global order - and how it might be otherwise - The Hidden Globe fascinates, enrages, and inspires. 'Vivid, revelatory' The New Yorker 'Atossa Abrahamian boldly renews our sense of reality and brilliantly illuminates our political impasse' Pankaj Mishra, author of The Age of Anger
