Rezensionen

"One of Terlouw's exciting themes is the question of resistance identities that often emerges when spatial entities are transformed. [...] Overall, this analysis of the long-term evolution of the case study regions is multilayered and rich in details. [...] All in all, Terlouw's book provides the reader with an appealing and detailed geohistorical analysis of the developments of his two research areas and also introduces a wide array of concepts and frameworks that are potentially useful for such an analysis elsewhere. I liked particularly chapters 7 and 8, which provide a thick analysis of local resistance identities in research areas and a more general or synthetic discussion of the resurgence of the territorial perspective." - Anssi Paasi (21 Aug 2023): Political geography of cities and regions: Changing legitimacy and identity, Regional Studies, DOI: 10.1080/00343404.2023.2241270
