Reviews for Social Geography: A Critical Introduction

By not taking the well-trodden route of segmenting discussions of social geographies of gender, race, age, sex and so on, Del Casino is breaking the mould. He is offering something far superior ... [and] very accessible and student friendly. (Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, 2012)
