Geographies of Justice and Social Transformation is devoted to books that engage the importance of space forquestions of social and political change. This focus necessarily covers a broad range of subject matter, includinginternational political economy, urban studies, gender, race, sexuality, and poverty and inequality. While the series isinterdisciplinary, its primary emphasis is on critical human geography. Books published in the series are designed to inform both intellectuals of broad stripes and those engaged in politicalprocesses of different kinds, from policy makers to grassroots activists. The series editors are interested in producingbooks that live on in academic offices and classrooms around the world, but also take on life in political chambers,organizing halls, and the streets where both space and politics are produced. Nik Heynen is an assistant professor of geography at the University of Georgia. He has coedited three books: Neoliberal Environments: False Promises and Unnatural Consequences; Globalization’s Contradictions: Geographies of Discipline, Destruction & Transformation; and In the Nature of Cities: Urban Political Ecology and the Politics of Urban Metabolism. Heynen's current book project is a study of the politicization of anti-hunger programs, with a particular focus on the Black Panthers.
