radical geography

Radical geography is a perspective within human geography that examines how social, economic, and political inequalities shape geographical spaces. It emphasizes understanding power dynamics, such as land ownership, resource distribution, and development, particularly focusing on marginalized or oppressed groups. Radical geographers often advocate for social justice, challenging existing systems of inequality and exploring ways to create a more equitable and just society. They study how capitalism, colonialism, and institutional structures influence places and people's lives, aiming to transform these systems for the better.
