Doreen Massey - Selected Political Writings

Doreen Massey was one of the most influential human geographers of the post-war period. A key feminist and socialist thinker, she brought geographical inequality to the fore of left politics. Through her activism, she combined a focus on class with a prescient awareness of its intersections with gender, race and sexuality.

This book is a collection of Doreen Massey''s essential political writings, from reflections on support groups during the 1984-5 Miners'' Strike to assessments of the Sandinistas'' spatial policies and ownership campaigns relating to Liverpool Football Club. It gives a vivid sense of Massey''s dynamic style as a left public intellectual whose work impacted major political initiatives, and introduces her important ''politics of place'' to a new generation of activists.
