Reviews
Feminisms in Geography is a strong and useful anti-anthology advancing and deepening the impact of feminist scholars on the geographies of knowledge while respectfully acknowledging that theirs is one rhizome among many. . . . The volume should resonate with many scholars who have entered their disciplines sideways, tried to survive by zigzagging through the new subtle but nevertheless deadly minefields of what Mary Daly calls malestream (also known as mainstream) academia while clinging to their commitments to mentoring, teaching, praxis, and relevance in a corporatist knowledge machine which mostly values what can be directly harvested and marketed. * Royal Geographical Society *
Pamela Moss and Karen Falconer Al-Hindi have done an exceptional job of creating an anti-anthology of feminisms and feminist geographies. Fully aware of both the ironies and the paradoxes inherent in any attempts to contest the orthodoxies of feminist geographies in a single volume, the editors and their contributors have nonetheless produced a work that provides readers with a variety of epistemological, theoretical, and linguistic maps to negotiate the complex terrains of a range of feminist geographies. In doing so, they have contributed significantly to the important conversation about the diversity, complexity, variety, sophistication, and multiplicity of feminist geographies. This book will be an important reference work for students and seasoned researchers in feminist geography. -- Lawrence D. Berg, University of British Columbia
This challenging anti-anthology invites the reader to revisit and rethink familiar feminist arguments-as well as encounter new ways of thinking-in an attempt to destabilize what the editors fear might be a developing feminist hegemony in the Western academy. It is a wonderful contribution to the growing, contested, unconfined, and messy corpus of feminist geographical scholarship. -- Linda McDowell, Oxford University
