9780713164749: Social Geography P An Introduction To Contemporary Issues

Synopsis

Social geography is enjoying increased popularity among teachers and students alike because of its links with other social science subjects and relevance to contemporary questions of public concern and political debate. One of the most accessible ways into the subject is to study the issues it addresses - inequality, poverty, crime and social disorder, racism, and exploitation - and the role of spatial pattern in influencing them. This is the first principle around which the book is organised. There is also a second, the attempt to reflect the political and ideological differences surrounding resource allocation - the central issue of social geography.
