Geographers:
Biobibliographical Studies literally puts geographical traditions and trajectories from the Global South on the map of geography’s history. The five biographies of the volume provide insightful accounts on academic landscapes off the beaten track and are a great starting point to learn more about geography beyond Europe and North America. * Jörn Seemann, Associate Professor of Geography, Ball State University, USA *
In this volume, GBS travels South - to Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador and Recife. The careers of four geographers and one historian are situated in their local, national and international contexts. These biographies highlight the political agency of these remarkable authors as well as the intellectual and institutional significance of their work. * Felix Driver, Professor of Human Geography Royal Holloway, University of London, UK *
By focusing on geographers from the Global South, GBS volume 40 contribute to a better understanding of the history of geography, enlarging and enriching its perspectives. The biographical memoirs presented cover five relevant authors that now may become known for an international audience. * Sergio Nunes, Dr. in Human Geography from the Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil *
