Anti-Atlas: Critical Area Studies from the East of the West
Anti-Atlas: Critical Area Studies from the East of the West
Where is "the East of the West"? This provocative collection confronts the assumptions behind how we divide the world into knowable regions. Anti-Atlas uses the upheavals of Eastern Europe as a lens through which to rethink the politics of area studies. This collection unsettles traditional hierarchies, questioning how knowledge is produced, who controls it, and how we divide the world into "areas." Consisting of an eclectic mix of scholars from Europe, the UK, and North America, the book experiments with diverse genres--from academic essays and autobiographical reflections to travel guides and data visualizations. Through this innovative approach, the editors propose a manifesto for area studies to be more critical and reflexive; to be undisciplined and deeply engaged with local perspectives. By dismantling the assumptions embedded in atlases and disciplinary boundaries, Anti-Atlas invites readers to think differently about how we construct and categorize the world. Of particular interest to scholars of area studies and critical theory, this work reassesses what it means to study places in an era of geopolitical rupture.
