Series Editors: Vinay Gidwani, University of Minnesota, USA and Sharad Chari, University of California, Berkeley, USA

Like its parent journal, the Antipode Book Series reflects distinctive new developments in radical geography. It publishes books in a variety of formats – from reference books to works of broad explication to titles that develop and extend the scholarly research base – but the commitment is always the same: to contribute to the praxis of a new and more just society.

The Antipode Book Series explores radical geography ‘antipodally’, in opposition, from various margins, limits, or borderlands.

Antipode books provide insight ‘from elsewhere’, across boundaries rarely transgressed, with internationalist ambition and located insight; they diagnose grounded critique emerging from particular contradictory social relations in order to sharpen the stakes and broaden public awareness. An Antipode book might revise scholarly debates by pushing at disciplinary boundaries, or by showing what happens to a problem as it moves or changes. It might investigate entanglements of power and struggle in particular sites, but with lessons that travel with surprising echoes elsewhere.

Antipode books will be theoretically bold and empirically rich, written in lively, accessible prose that does not sacrifice clarity at the altar of sophistication. We seek books from within and beyond the discipline of geography that deploy geographical critique in order to understand and transform our fractured world.

Teo Ballvé is an Assistant Professor in Peace & Conflict Studies and Geography at Colgate University in upstate New York. Before returning to academia, he worked for many years as a journalist, covering Latin American affairs and US policy toward the region. He is the co‐editor (with Vijay Prashad) of Dispatches from Latin America: On the Frontlines Against Neoliberalism (South End Press; LeftWord, 2006).

Thomas J. Bassett’s research centres on the political ecology of agrarian change in West Africa. He earned his PhD in Geography at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1984. He was Professor Michael Watts’s first PhD student. Dr Bassett’s long‐term research in West Africa grapples with the question of why peasant farmers and herders, despite their access to land and labour, remain vulnerable to food insecurity. His research in Côte d’Ivoire traces the transformation of farming and pastoral systems, their interactions with markets and the state, and the multi‐scale political ecological dynamics that produce vulnerability as well as opportunities for reducing it. His recent publications focus on world market prices and cotton grower incomes in West Africa (World Development), the adaptation concept in the climate change literature (Geoforum) and political ecological perspectives on socio‐ecological relations (Natures, Sciences et Sociétés). He also writes on the history of maps and mapmaking in Africa with contributions to three volumes of the six‐volume The History of Cartography.

Joe Bryan’s research draws from 20 years of experience working with indigenous movements in the Americas, including work in Ecuador, Nicaragua, the United States and Mexico. Much of that work focuses on efforts by indigenous peoples to formulate claims to territory, in particular through the production of maps. He has written extensively on his work in both English and Spanish, and is the co‐author, with Denis Wood, of Weaponizing Maps: Indigenous Peoples and Counterinsurgency in the Americas. He is currently Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Judith Carney is Professor of Geography at UCLA. Her research centres on African ecology and development, food security, gender and agrarian change, and African contributions to New World environmental history. She is the author of more than 90 scholarly articles and two books: Black Rice: The African Origins of Rice Cultivation in the Americas (Harvard University Press, 2001) and In the Shadow of Slavery: Africa’s Botanical Legacy in the Atlantic World (University of California Press, 2009). Black Rice received the Melville Herskovits Book Award and In the Shadow of Slavery, the Frederick Douglass Book Prize. She has received professional honours from the Association of American Geographers, including a Distinguished Scholarship Honor, the Robert Netting Award for original research that bridges geography and anthropology and the Carl O. Sauer Distinguished Scholarship Award for significant contributions to Latin American geography. Her research has been supported by the National Geographic Society, the Guggenheim Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Wenner‐Gren Foundation. Currently she is researching human use of West African mangrove ecosystems in the context of climate change and continuing her collaboration with plant scientists on historical and geographical themes concerning the genome sequencing of African rice.

Sharad Chari is at the Centre for Indian Studies in Africa and the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, and, from 2017, at the Department of Geography at Berkeley. He has taught at the LSE and at Michigan, where he was in Anthropology, History, and the Michigan Society of Fellows. Sharad has worked on gender, caste and work politics in agrarian and industrial South India, in Fraternal Capital: Peasant‐workers, self‐made men, and globalization in provincial India (Stanford, 2004); development theories and trajectories, in the edited Development Reader (Routledge, 2008, with Stuart Corbrige); he is finishing a palimpsestic book on the past and present of racial capitalism and opposition in South Africa, called Apartheid Remains; and he is beginning research on archaic and emergent formations of racial/sexual capitalism in the Southern African Indian Ocean region. He works with agrarian studies, the Black radical tradition, documentary photography and other traditions of Earth‐writing that have sought to stretch Marxist thought to realities considered (but not actually) peripheral to the planet.

Erin Collins is Assistant Professor of Global Urban Studies in the School of International Service at American University in Washington DC, USA. Dr Collins is a critical, urban geographer whose work focusses on the political economy and cultural politics of transformation in Southeast Asian cities. She received her PhD in Geography from the University of California, Berkeley in 2015. Her current research looks at how people claim and defend space in Cambodia’s capital city of Phnom Penh in and through moments of political, social and economic remaking.

Rosalind Fredericks is Assistant Professor at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. After her PhD in Geography at the University of California, Berkeley, she was a postdoctoral research scholar with the Committee on Global Thought at Columbia University. Trained as an urban and cultural geographer, her research interests are centred on urban development, citizenship, political ecology, infrastructure and geographies of waste in Africa. Her forthcoming book, Garbage Citizenship: Vibrant Infrastructures of Labor in Dakar, Senegal (Duke University Press) chronicles the infrastructural politics surrounding municipal garbage labour in the wake of structural adjustment. A new research project funded by the National Science Foundation examines planning and activism surrounding the proposed closure of the city’s dump, Mbeubeuss. She also has an ongoing research project on the role of hip hop in elections in Senegal. Fredericks has edited two books with Mamadou Diouf on citizenship in African cities, Les Arts de la Citoyenneté au Sénégal: Espaces Contestés et Civilités Urbaines (Editions Karthala, 2013) and The Arts of Citizenship in African Cities: Infrastructures and Spaces of Belonging (Palgrave MacMillan, 2014).

Susanne Freidberg received her PhD from Berkeley Geography in 1996 and is now Professor of Geography at Dartmouth College. Her research centres on the politics, practices and cultural meanings of food supply chains. While her dissertation examined the social and environmental history of commercial gardening in Burkina Faso, her more recent work focuses on the agricultural sustainability initiatives undertaken by the world’s biggest food companies. She is the author of two books, French Beans and Food Scares: Culture and Commerce in an Anxious Age (Oxford, 2004) and Fresh: A Perishable History (Harvard, 2009), as well as articles that have appeared in journals such as Economy and Society, Comparative Studies in Society and History, Science and Culture, Geoforum and Gastronomica.

Benjamin Gardner is Associate Professor of Global Studies, Environmental Studies and Cultural Studies in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington Bothell. He is also Chair of the African Studies Program in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. His research examines the relationship between tourism, conservation and development. He teaches courses on globalization, political ecology, and cultural studies theory and methods. His book, Selling the Serengeti: The Cultural Politics of Safari Tourism (Georgia, 2016) draws on cultural geography, environmental history and political economy to question the pervasive myths about who owns nature in Africa and how colonial discourses around conservation continue to shape contemporary environmental politics. He is a recipient of the University of Washington’s Distinguished Teaching Award (2014). He has a BA in anthropology from Connecticut College, an MS in environmental studies from Yale University and a PhD in geography from the University of California Berkeley.

Vinay Gidwani is Professor of Geography and Global Studies at University of Minnesota. He studies the entanglements of labour and ecology in agrarian and urban settings, and capitalist transformations of these. He is particularly interested in the cultural politics and geographies of work. Vinay is the author of Capital, Interrupted: Agrarian Development and the Politics of Work in India (University of Minnesota Press, 2008). Recent publications include articles in Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East and Economic and Political Weekly (India). He is presently working on an ACLS‐funded collaborative research project on the life‐worlds of urban migrants in India who work in precarious informal economy jobs, and will be soon embarking on a new NSF‐funded comparative study of Jakarta, Indonesia and Bangalore, India called ‘Speculative Urbanism: Land, Livelihoods, and Finance Capital’ with collaborators at Minnesota, UCLA, the National Institute of Advanced Study (Bangalore) and Tarumanagara University (Jakarta).

Julie Guthman is a geographer and Professor of Social Sciences at the University of California at Santa Cruz where she teaches courses primarily in global political economy and the politics of food and agriculture. She has published extensively on contemporary efforts to transform food production, distribution and consumption. Her publications include two multi‐award‐winning books: Agrarian Dreams: the Paradox of Organic Farming in California and Weighing In: Obesity, Food Justice, and the Limits of Capitalism. She is the recipient of the 2015 Excellence in Research Award from the Agriculture, Food and Human Values Society.

Lucy Jarosz is Chair and Professor of Geography at the University of Washington. She first met Michael Watts through his book, Silent Violence, a gift that her advisor, Harold Scheub, Professor of African Language and Literature at the University of Wisconsin‐Madison, gave to her. That book was an important introduction to Geography. Michael’s intellectual breadth and depth have remained an inspiration to her. She especially appreciates his interest in literature and the art of photography – in particular that of August Sander. Her interest in rural development, agriculture and food has remained constant since her graduate school days as one of his students at Berkeley. She has been fortunate to continue to study these topics in Madagascar, South Africa, the US and Canada. Her research draws from feminist political ecology and critical discourse analysis to examine how hunger and poverty are produced, addressed or magnified through agricultural development and change.

Moussa Koné earned his PhD in Geography from the University of Illinois Urbana‐Champaign where he worked with Professor Thomas Bassett. He is Maître Assistant and teaches at the Institut de Géographie Tropicale (IGT), University Félix Houphouet‐Boigny, Cocody‐Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Dr Koné’s research interests centre on the political ecology of natural resource management and land rights systems. He utilizes geospatial technologies and qualitative and quantitative field techniques to investigate the social and biophysical dimensions of environmental change with emphasis on vulnerability and adaptation to climate change and variability. Dr. Koné currently participates in research projects that (1) assess the impact of the value chain approach on women farmers and household food security in the context of the New Green Revolution for Africa and (2) investigate how farmers and herders use fire as a tool for natural resource management in West African savannas, and how these practices modify landscapes over time and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

Jake Kosek is Associate Professor in Geography at Berkeley. He has been a Lang Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford and a Ciriacy‐Wantrup Fellow at Berkeley, and he has taught Anthropology at Stanford, and American Studies and Anthropology at the University of New Mexico. He is co‐author of Race, Nature and the Politics of Difference (Duke, 2003) and author of the prize‐winning Understories: The Political Life of Forests in Northern New Mexico (Duke, 2006), an ethnography that examines the cultural politics of nature, race and nation amid violent struggles over forests in northern New Mexico. His forthcoming book, Homo‐Apian: A Critical Natural History of the Modern Honeybee (Duke) examines manifestations of natural history in the present, exploring contemporary taxonomies and varieties of nature, charting their resonance and discord with fossilized formations of prior natures.

Rebecca Lave is an Associate Professor in Geography at Indiana University. Her research takes a critical physical geography approach, combining political economy, STS and fluvial geomorphology to focus on the construction of scientific expertise, market‐based environmental management, and water regulation. She has published in journals ranging from Science to Social Studies of Science, and is the author of Fields and Streams: Stream Restoration, Neoliberalism, and the Future of Environmental Science (2012, University of Georgia Press). She is co‐editor of four forthcoming collections: the Handbook of Political Economy of Science, the Handbook of Critical Physical Geography, and two volumes on Doreen Massey. She also edits two book series: Critical Environments: Nature, Science and Politics at University of California Press (with Julie Guthman and Jake Kosek), and Economic Transformations at Agenda Publishing (with Brett Christophers, Jamie Peck and Marion Werner). Her current research focuses on the co‐constituted hydrology, history and political economy of non‐point source agricultural pollution in the US Midwest.

Tad Mutersbaugh works as a Professor of Geography at the University of Kentucky. He studies certification and assessment systems with a focus on organic agriculture in Mexico. His current research focuses upon the gender politics and political economy of biodiversity in the context of Oaxacan coffee agroforesty.

Roderick P. Neumann is Professor and Chairperson in the Department of Global and Sociocultural Studies at Florida International University. He received his PhD in Geography from the University of California in 1992 under the supervision of Michael Watts. His research explores the co‐constitution of nature, society and space through a focus on modern biodiversity conservation practices. He has conducted fieldwork in Tanzania, the United Kingdom, Spain and the western United States with funding from the Social Science Research Council, Fulbright Fellowship Program, National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. He is the author or co‐author of four books including Imposing Wilderness (University of California Press) and Making Political Ecology (Hodder‐Arnold). He has also authored over 40 articles and chapters, including most recently ‘Life Zones: The Rise and Decline of a Theory of the Geographic Distribution of Species’ in de Bont, Raf and Jens Lachmund (eds), Spatializing the History of Ecology: Sites, Journeys, Mappings.
