A re-examination of the basic geographical divisions we take for granted, this work challenges the unconscious spatial frameworks that govern the way we perceive the world. The authors argue that East versus West and First World versus Third World are simplistic and misconceived.

"A solid and useful contribution." * Journal of World History *
