Book Overview

"The reason for my enthusiasm for this book is that Doreen Massey manages to describe a certain way of perceiving movement in space which I have been - and still am - working with on different levels in my work: i.e. the idea that space is not something static and neutral, a frozen entity, but is something intertwined with time and thus ever changing - also when we are not occupying it.

A beautiful work of critical theory

While this is a critical theory book, it should be fairly accessible for any curious mind. Dr. Massey weaves stories from her locale (London and the surrounding countryside) into her "deep" theoretical claims, making it more accessible than many other philosophy and theory books. She makes claims such as, "Space is a process...an ongoing product of interconnections" (p.107), and then, unlike other critical theory books I've read, actually backs-up her claim with poignant examples that are easy to grasp. The entire book is a good, soild read--not just for geographers, but for anyone interested in critical theory. I can see it being used in an upper-division university course, though to get the most out of it, a graduate level course might be more appropriate. I find myself opened to another level of thought and awareness of my world around me because fo this book. And not many books I've read have done that! My favorite sections include "Travelling Imaginations" and "Elusiveness of Space".
