Reviews

Throughout this text, Horton and Kraftl engage with a wide spectrum of social and cultural theories. They discuss the multiple meanings and uses of the word culture, and they also remind us that knowledge is always situated, and writing is positional and embodied. Last but not least, they provide a richly annotated bibliography of key readings in the field of cultural geographies and neighboring disciplines. - Heike Henderson, Boise State University
