Feminisms in Geography is a strong and useful anti-anthology
advancing and deepening the impact of feminist scholars on the
geographies of knowledge while respectfully acknowledging that
theirs is one rhizome among many. . . . The volume should resonate
with many scholars who have entered their disciplines sideways,
tried to survive by zigzagging through the new subtle but
nevertheless deadly minefields of what Mary Daly calls malestream
(also known as mainstream) academia while clinging to their
commitments to mentoring, teaching, praxis, and relevance in a
corporatist knowledge machine which mostly values what can be
directly harvested and marketed.

Pamela Moss and Karen Falconer Al-Hindi have done an exceptional
job of creating an anti-anthology of feminisms and feminist
geographies. Fully aware of both the ironies and the paradoxes
inherent in any attempts to contest the orthodoxies of feminist
geographies in a single volume, the editors and their contributors
have nonetheless produced a work that provides readers with a
variety of epistemological, theoretical, and linguistic maps to
negotiate the complex terrains of a range of feminist geographies.
In doing so, they have contributed significantly to the important
conversation about the diversity, complexity, variety,
sophistication, and multiplicity of feminist geographies. This book
will be an important reference work for students and seasoned
researchers in feminist geography.
*Lawrence D. Berg, University of British Columbia*
This challenging anti-anthology invites the reader to revisit and
rethink familiar feminist arguments—as well as encounter new ways
of thinking—in an attempt to destabilize what the editors fear
might be a developing feminist hegemony in the Western academy. It
is a wonderful contribution to the growing, contested, unconfined,
and messy corpus of feminist geographical scholarship.
