White mythologies and anemic geographies

Auteur :
SPARKE, M.

Description :
Robert Young's book White Mythologies raises some critical questions of importance to geography. Amongst these are the significant links between the critique of Western historicism and the increasing use of spatial names and metaphors in arguments about cultural politics. Some limits to the book provide an example of anemic geography. This reified and reifying geography fails to deal adequately with the questions of geographical complexity opened up by the displacement of Western History.
