Review

‘A valuable resource for teaching and research. Bringing older work on the symbolics of space together with more recent analyses of the politics of place and contested spatial practices, it gives a fine overview of the depth, range, and vitality of anthropological approaches to space and place.’ James Ferguson, University of California, Irvine


‘This stunning collection provides an invaluable guide to an exciting new field: The analysis of the spatial dimensions of culture and the cultural meanings of space and place. It features a clear and comprehensive introduction and a wide-ranging set of articles that reveal the power and potential of this new field of anthropological inquiry.’ Sally Engle Merry, Wellesley College


‘A rich sourcebook of classic and new perspectives on culture and the physical environment. Encompasses a range of spaces and places from the small-scale to the large-scale; from the body to transnational settings. A terrific resource to spark new questions, ideas, and projects.’ Irwin Altman, University of Utah

"Geographers should of course read The Anthropology of Space and Place. Reading this volume also opens up opportunities to refine our strengths as geographers as well as to open up new domains of exploration inspired by the expertise of anthropologists." Progress in Human Geography, Vol 29/1, 2005

Book Description

Over the last two decades anthropologists have drawn on insights from ethnographic inquiry to challenge accepted definitions and ideas of space and place. Their efforts have led to an understanding that both the conceptual and material dimensions of space as well as of built forms and landscape characteristics are central to the production (and reproduction) of social life. The Anthropology of Space and Place: Locating Culture is an unprecedented collection of key articles presented explicitly for students and researchers in anthropology, environmental psychology, sociology, architecture, geography, and urban planning. The volume includes an introduction that synthesizes existing literature, highlights core issues, and maps potential directions for future research.
