Violent Geographies Fear, Terror, and Political Violence

Derek Gregory and Allan Pred's "Spaces of Terror" is critical geography's rejoinder to "The Geographical Dimensions of Terrorism", which came from geography's mainstream establishment. Gregory and Pred, both eminent in their field, have brought together a talented group of both young and well established geographers to look at how territory and space delimits and shapes both terrorism and political violence in wide range of places. The overreaching goal of this work is to show how political violence, especially terrorism, 'ruptures the simple distinction between "the global" and the "local" by folding transnational geopolitical strategies into the intimacies of everyday life'. It goes far beyond 9/11, moving backward in history and across the globe to investigate the heightened states of emergency occurring around the world.

  • "Derek Gregory and Allan Pred's Violent Geographies gathers together a group of young and well established geographers to look at how territory and space delimit and shape both terrorism and political violence in wide range of places, from the Middle East to Latin America. In short, the book shows how physical violence, especially terrorism, disrupts the distinction between the global and the local by injecting transnational politics into the intimacies of everyday life. Violent Geographies also shows how terrorism is not simply used by nonstate groups states use it as well, including many of America's allies. It goes far beyond 9/11 moving backward in history and across the globe to other locales to get at the heightened states of emergency that are occurring everywhere."

  • """Violent Geographies is essential to understanding how the politics of fear, terror, and violence in being largely hidden geographically can only be exposed in like manner. The 'War on Terror' finally receives the coolly critical analysis its ritual invocation has long required.""--John Agnew, Professor of Geography, UCLA""Urgent, passionate and deeply humane, Violent Geographies is uncomfortable but utterly compelling reading. An essential guide to a world splintered and wounded by fear and aggression-this is geography at its most politically engaged, historically sens."@en
