Geographies of Developing Areas: The Global South in a changing world

This significant new textbook questions traditional conceptions of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean to provide a new understanding of the ‘Global South’, highlighting the rich diversity of regions that are usually only viewed in terms of their ‘problems’. Providing a positive but critical approach to a number of key issues affecting these important areas, the book: <ul>
<li>examines the ways in which the Global South is represented, and the values at play</li> <li>explores how the South is shaping, and being shaped by, global economic, political and cultural processes</li> <li>looks at peoples’ lives and identities</li> <li>assesses the possibilities and limitations of different ‘development’ strategies.</li>
</ul>
A timely assessment of the way global processes are perceived from the Global South, the book is illustrated with over sixty colour photographs. It includes a full glossary of key terms, case studies from fieldwork conducted across a range of communities and nations, and introductions to the wider literature in this field. This is a wonderful new textbook for all students interested in Human Geography and Development Studies.
