Inventing Places: Studies in Cultural Geography

by Kay Anderson (Editor), Fay Gale (Editor)

Comprised of topical subjects relating to western societies such as environmentalism; urban conservation; retail, leisure and corporate culture; regionalism; the cultural world of the rich; race and gender constructs. Contrasts European and indigenous perceptions of land and resources, highlighting the basic relativity of all human ``ways of seeing''. Material is drawn largely from Australia, New Zealand, England, the U.S. and Canada in an attempt to give the same quizzical attention to the ``West'' that is usually reserved for ``other'' people and places.
