Summary:

The first to engage Foucault's geographies in detail from a wide range of perspectives, this book is framed around his discussions with the journal Hérodote in the mid 1970's. The contributors (including a number of key figures such as David Harvey, Chris Philo, Sara Mills, Nigel Thrift, John Agnew, Thomas Flynn and Matthew Hannah) discuss just what they find valuable - and frustrating - about Foucault's geographies. This is a book which will both surprise and challenge.
