Zusammenfassung:"Latin American Geographies introduces student readers to cutting-edge scholarship on a range of topics from Indigenous geographies to sustainable development and dependency theory. The book is written primarily by a Latin American-based authorship and blends complex theory with in-depth case studies in an accessible way for students with little prior knowledge. Each chapter contains a general overview of the topic and includes summary boxes, review questions and annotated further readings. The book is divided into three sections. Section 1 "Core Themes" gives the reader the necessary historical, conceptual and theoretical tools to make sense of and engage in contemporary geographical debates in Latin American geographies. It is divided into 4 areas, covering major sub-themes (historical, colonial, political, economic, urban, development and environmental geographies). Section 2 "Key Perspectives" outlines key identities and positionalities that have had a profound impact on Latin American geographies, exemplifying their significance through a range of case studies. Section 3 "Uneven Processes" provides an in-depth analysis into core geographical trends across 3 main themes: ecologies, urbanisation and resistance. The book is unique in providing an introduction to Latin American geography that showcases the ideas of some of the region's leading geographical thinkers. Aimed at undergraduate students, chapters will also be of relevance to advanced researchers looking for introductions to specific areas. The book is designed for use in the classroom as well as for independent learning"--
