"The debates in David Harvey: A Critical Reader highlight
the importance of thinking about space as something materially
produced and in process ... The discussion also leads to
considerations of the urban as a way of life. The tension between
these two strands makes this anthology fertile ground for attempts
at a synthesis."
Radical Philosophy
"David Harvey: A Critical Reader is a landmark assessment
of the work, and diverse influences, of this leading
geographer-cum-social theorist. No stodgy hagiography, the
Reader presents a series of punchy, personal, political, and
often profound reflections on four decades of Harvey's
contributions. In locating Harvey and his interlocutors, the
Reader also suggestively maps out the shifting terrain of
critical thinking around the spatialities of late capitalism."
Jamie Peck, University of Wisconsin-Madison
"Few contemporary thinkers have been untouched by David Harvey,
even in opposition, as this collection of brilliant essays attests.
And, after the critics' scalpels have done their bit of nip
and tuck, he comes off still looking rather well for his age."
R. A. Walker, University of California, Berkeley
"The Critical Reader offers a set of inspiring and
non-hagiographic reflections on the intellectual legacy of David
Harvey that will be an invaluable read not only for geographers but
for all social scientists committed to the pursuit of a critical
and transformative understanding of the world."
Ugo Rossi, Universita L'Orientale of Naples, Italy
