Title: Australian cultural geographies
Description: "Australian Cultural Geographies examines the diverse relationships between people and place through the kaleidoscope of cultural geography. The book establishes a context for the practice of cultural geography, and comprehensively examines the methods of the sub-discipline. It presents a range of case studies, embracing analyses of race, class, sexuality, gender and age, and examines these issues on the streets, in the back yard, out bush, in the wilderness, and through the inner city and suburbs. In a novel turn, the editor prefaces each case study with a conversation with individual authors, asking them to reveal their reasons for doing the work, and its relevance to students research and teaching." "Those interested in Aboriginal studies, women's studies, sexuality and gender issues, youth, wilderness, the social history of the suburbs, transport, identity politics, and the social sciences will find much in individual chapters and in the collection as a whole."--Jacket.
