"[This is] a collection of articles not on DoreenMassey's work, but rather on how different scholars andactivists, many of them Massey's colleagues and friends, havedeveloped their own ideas informed by hers ... Gatheringtogether a bunch of colleagues, activists, artists and politicalfigures, each contributor offers an overview of how their mainconcerns relate to, or have benefited from, Massey'sconcepts. For the scope and significance of her ideas seem to havebeen enormous; just think of the very different disciplines thathave benefited from her spatial vision (take only the ones presentin the book: political science, sociology, anthropology, andpsychology, even the arts, not to mention the practice of politicsitself) ... Here we have a group of scholars ... takingMassey's work in new and exciting directions, and we haveeighteen excellent examples of how to do it."(Antipode , 1 September 2013)
