Summary "Drawing on material from around the world, this book examines how new geographies of resistance emerge and are articulated. Radical cultural politics, exemplified by the black, feminist and gay liberation, has developed struggles to turn sites of oppression and discrimination into spaces of resistance. Post-colonial and queer theory has opened up new political spaces. Whether resistance is an act of transgression (crossing borders), opposition (such as constructing barricades), or everyday endurance (staying in place), these are geographies where space is constitutive of the social." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0649/97186948-d.html.
