Rezensionen

"The debates in David Harvey: A Critical Reader highlightthe importance of thinking about space as something materiallyproduced and in process ... The discussion also leads toconsiderations of the urban as a way of life. The tension betweenthese two strands makes this anthology fertile ground for attemptsat a synthesis."
Radical Philosophy

"David Harvey: A Critical Reader is a landmark assessmentof the work, and diverse influences, of this leadinggeographer-cum-social theorist. No stodgy hagiography, theReader presents a series of punchy, personal, political, andoften profound reflections on four decades of Harvey'scontributions. In locating Harvey and his interlocutors, theReader also suggestively maps out the shifting terrain ofcritical thinking around the spatialities of late capitalism."Jamie Peck, University of Wisconsin-Madison

"Few contemporary thinkers have been untouched by David Harvey,even in opposition, as this collection of brilliant essays attests.And, after the critics' scalpels have done their bit of nipand tuck, he comes off still looking rather well for his age."R. A. Walker, University of California, Berkeley

"The Critical Reader offers a set of inspiring andnon-hagiographic reflections on the intellectual legacy of DavidHarvey that will be an invaluable read not only for geographers butfor all social scientists committed to the pursuit of a criticaland transformative understanding of the world."
Ugo Rossi, Universita L'Orientale of Naples, Italy
