Description

For a New Geography is a foundational work in critical geography, first published in 1978 and now available in English. Milton Santos' influential book marked a significant shift in geographical thought and introduced new theoretical categories for analyzing space.

Santos critiques the shortcomings of modern geography, tracing its colonial legacies to its foundations as a science. He then outlines a new field of critical geography, proposing an ontology of space and methodology for geography. This work reconciles divergent histories within the discipline, making it a valuable contribution to our understanding of geographical thought.

Published at a time of renewed interest in alternative geographical traditions and radical geography, For a New Geography takes its place alongside other canonical works in critical geography. Its publication in English coincides with a growing recognition of the importance of this field of study.
