Description

This book will acquaint historians, anthropologists and sociologists with a discourse that questions the prioritizing of the temporal over the spatial - the historical over the geographical. The author argues that neither the study of history nor the execution of social or cultural analysis can be divorced from human-geographical inquiry. He contends that all processes of social structuring are context dependent, for they involve the unfolding of historical geographies - they simultaneously include the making of histories and the construction of human geographies.
