From the Publisher

“This book makes a vital contribution to feminist geographies, expanding our understanding of social justice and activism. Together, the authors provide important and inspiring examples of what it means to enact feminist geography.” Malene H. Jacobsen, Newcastle University

“Tracing the contours of power in Afghanistan, the US, Mexico, Ecuador, Czechia, and the UK, this book demonstrates anti-racist, decolonial, queer, and anti-sexist activist scholarship. This is an incredibly useful text both for readers new to the field and those seeking to expand and disrupt its boundaries.” Caroline Faria, University of Texas at Austin
