Geographies of Justice and Social Transformation is devoted to books that engage the importance of space for questions of social and political change. This focus necessarily covers a broad range of subject matter, including international political economy, urban studies, gender, race, sexuality, and poverty and inequality. While the series is interdisciplinary, 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 political processes of different kinds, from policy makers to grassroots activists. The series editors are interested in producing books 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 associate 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. Andrew Herod is a professor of geography at the University of Georgia. He is the author of Labor Geographies: Workers and the Landscapes of Capitalism and a coeditor of four books, including The Dirty Work of Neoliberalism: Cleaners in the Global Economy and Geographies of Power: Placing Scale. Melissa W. Wright is an associate professor of geography and women's studies at Pennsylvania State University. She is the author of Disposable Women and Other Myths of Global Capitalism and a coeditor of Geographies of Power: Placing Scale. Editorial Advisory Board
