Description

Urban Geography in America offers a comprehensive historiography of this major field. Compiling the best essays from the flagship journal Urban Geography , it shows the evolution of the field from the 1950s to 2000, as it shifted from data-driven social science modeling in the 1960s to the more critical perspectives of the 1970s to postmodernism in the 1980s to feminism and globalization in the 1990s. It covers all the major trends and figures, and features some of the most important names in the field. Ultimately, this will be a necessary reference for all scholars in the field and all graduate students taking introductory courses and preparing for their comprehensive exams.
