Exploring what it means to enact feminist geography, this book brings together contemporary, cutting edge cases of social justice activism and collaborative research with activists. From Black feminist organising in the American South to the stories of feminist geography collectives in Latin America, the editors present contemporary case studies from the Global North and South.

The chapters showcase the strength and vibrancy of activist-engaged scholarship taking place in the field and serve as a call to action, exploring how this work advances real-world efforts to fight injustice and re-make the world as a fairer, more equitable and more accepting place.

Reviews for Activist Feminist Geographies

"""This book makes a vital contribution to feminist geographies, expanding our understanding of social justice and activism. Together, the authors provide important and inspiring examples of what it means to enact feminist geography."" Malene H. Jacobsen, Newcastle University ""Tracing the contours of power in Afghanistan, the US, Mexico, Ecuador, Czechia, and the UK, this book demonstrates anti-racist, decolonial, queer, and anti-sexist activist scholarship. This is an incredibly useful text both for readers new to the field and those seeking to expand and disrupt its boundaries."" Caroline Faria, University of Texas at Austin"
