Reviews

“[…] Spaces of Longing and Belonging is thought-provoking. While this publication may be too diversified to fit neatly into one graduate course, it could be utilized for the close reading and application of previous spatial theories in the classroom […] This Brill publication is of high quality, with a functional, if not expansive index. As volume 30 of the Spatial Practices series, this book contains more than enough material to be a meaningful step forward in the study of longing and belonging within the fields of cultural history, geography, and literature.” - Wayne E. Arnold, The University of Kitakyushu, JP in Literary Geographies, Vol. 6 2020 pp. 141-143 “Spaces of Longing and Belonging: Territoriality, Ideology and Creative Identity in Literature and Film does a fine job of providing a multidisciplinary approach to geocritical understanding of planeterity. The contributions to this volume shake up ‘violent autonormativity whereby “the West” kept reinventing itself and all its inferior others’ (Dabashi 2012: 15) and look at different ways mobility creates relational subjectivities.” - Parisha Delshad, Universidad de Salamanca Spain, in Nexus 2020.01 pp. 42-44
