Originally published in Portuguese in 1978, For a New Geography is a landmark in the history of critical geography, marking the emergence of its author, Milton Santos (1926-2001), as a major interpreter of geographical thought, a prominent Afro-Brazilian public intellectual, and one of the foremost global theorists of space. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in the midst of a crisis in geographical thought, For a New Geography served as a bridge between geography's past and its future. In advancing his vision of a geography of action and liberation, Santos begins by turning to the roots of modern geography and its colonial legacies. Moving from a critique of the shortcomings of geography from the fields foundations as a modern science to the outline of a new field of critical geography, he sets forth both an ontology of space and a methodology for geography. In so doing, he introduces novel theoretical categories to the analysis of space. It is, in short, both a critique of the Northern, Anglo-centric discipline from within and a systematic critique of its flaws and assumptions from outside. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCritical geography has developed in the past four decades into a heterogeneous and creative field of enquiry. Though accruing a set of theoretical touchstones in the process, it has become detached from a longer and broader history of geographical thought. For a New Geography reconciles these divergent histories. Arriving in English at a time of renewed interest in alternative geographical traditions and the history of radical geography, it takes its place in the canonical works of critical geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 380g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 140 x 20 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781517909086\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milton Santos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095749128442,"sku":"9781517909086","price":21.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/28c28d46d22bbc8e54e9c3e58e6f2871.jpg?v=1640579472","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/for-a-new-geography","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
