Based on Stuart Hall’s understanding that "Race is one of those major concepts that helps organize the great classificatory system of difference that operates in human societies", this handbook contributes to the study of Race through a spatial lens. Whether articulated as a caste, ethnicity, racialized ethnic group, ethicized racial group, national origin, citizenship, or class, Race is a complex and integrated system of division in a society. In addition to the social, historical, and cultural foundations, there is a need to examine the geographical basis in order to find any definition and understanding of Race.The De Gruyter Handbook of the Geographies of Race is a visionary reference work which features contributions from a broad range of disciplines to present a global, state-of-the-art, and holistic exploration of the ways in which the geographies of Race can be studied. It critically engages with pressing questions of Race and racism, drawing from, and contributing to, an intellectual history rooted in anti-colonial and liberatory struggles. This pioneering volume will benefit academics and students of Geography, Sociology, Political Science and related disciplines.
