Meer oor hierdie e-boek
Subaltern Geographies stands as the inaugural comprehensive exploration into the intersection of subaltern studies’ historical breakthroughs and the critical methodologies of cultural, urban, historical, and political geography. Editors Tariq Jazeel and Stephen Legg embark on an intellectual journey to scrutinize the relationship between space and spatial categorizations, posing pivotal questions about the methodological-philosophical potential that a geographically grounded engagement with the concept of subalternity offers in both historical and contemporary contexts. This edited volume seeks to unravel the implications and impact of subaltern studies scholarship on geographical thought, while navigating beyond methodological nationalism and Eurocentrism. The book’s contributors, comprising historians, geographers, urban theorists, and a social activist, present diverse studies spanning colonial India, post-colonial Tanzania, Andean Ecuador, Delhi’s recycling centres, Bolivian protest sites, the Indian Ocean, and urban fragments. The volume contends that politicointellectual skills are vital for conceiving and representing subaltern geographies. This craft involves grappling with the complexities of translation, mistranslation, and the untranslatability inherent in radically different geographical descriptions. The book further explores the challenges of retrieving notionally subaltern space from archives or through ethnographic and textual research. Lastly, it addresses the representational hurdles posed by ordinariness and everyday spatiality in contrast to conventional geographical descriptions.

Tariq Jazeel's research, situated at the crossroads of postcolonial theory, critical geography, and South Asian studies, explores spatial politics in architecture, literature, music, and art, in regions like Sri Lanka, South India, and the British Asian diaspora. As co-Director of UCL's Sarah Parker Remond Centre and founding co-Director of UCL's Centre for the Study of South Asia and the Indian Ocean World, he plays a key role in advancing research on racism, racialization, and South Asian studies. Stephen Legg's research focuses on the intersections of colonialism and anticolonialism across various scales, utilizing postcolonial theory, subaltern studies, and governmentality analytics from his previous work. As Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Historical Geography and the 2024 Chair of the Royal Geographical Society's international conference, he has contributed significantly to the field.
