Description

This book presents the history and theoretical contributions of Brazilian geography since the late twentieth century and shows how this sphere of knowledge has been organically integrated with social and territorial issues and with social movements.

The relationship between the subjects and objects of research in Brazilian geography has been centred on the understanding and transformation of realities marked by injustice and inequality.

Against this backdrop, the geography of the country has developed by integrating, relating to, and forming part of those realities as it headed out into the streets.

Brazilian geography continues to hold theoretical debate in high regard as a result of the influence of critical theory.

This book thus covers the theoretical approaches in Brazilian geography, its different lines of research, and above all its character as manifested in culture and society.
