Making Histories And Constructing Human Geographies

The Local Transformation Of Practice, Power Relations, And Consciousness

Beschreibung

This book aims to acquaint American historians, anthropologists, and sociologists with a discourse that questions prioritizing of the temporal over the spatial. It contends that social structuring processes are context dependent, for they involve the unfolding of historical geographies.

Autor

Allan Pred is professor of geography at the University of California at Berkeley. For some time his theoretical and empirical writings have centered on the simultaneous making of histories and construction of human geographies. He has been an important figure in both the introduction of social theory into human geography and the introduction of human geography into social theory. Among his many previously published books are The Spatial Dynamics of U.S. Urban-Industrial Growth (1966); Urban Growth and the Circulation of Information (1973); Place, Practice and Structure (1986); and Lost Words and Lost Worlds: Modernity and the Language of Everyday Life in Late-Nineteenth Century Stockholm (1990).
