The editors are especially grateful to all the authors – many of whom did manage to submit their drafts on time! – for being prepared to set out on and complete a journey, the destination of which was left deliberately open-ended and very much down to them. This has, we know, involved some very hard and challenging work in the writing and yet all contributors remained wholeheartedly committed and responsive to a project, which was, to an extent – and perforce – emergent in the process of its construction. Robert Rojek was, as ever, not only a rightly demanding publishing editor but was also continuously encouraging yet tolerant of our own limitations as well as offering a whole host of bright ideas that contributed so much to the various innovative features of the book. In the dramatically changing and increasingly instrumental world of publishing, Sage remains true to its traditions and Robert a highly effective advocate and guide in sustaining and extending them. Keri Dickens, Robert’s editorial assistant, smoothed all the logistics involved in the produc- tion of the book. Her wholly enviable and yet highly engaging and informal efficiency meant that even the most tiresome of necessary tasks were rendered enjoyable and easy. Isabel Drury of SAGE shot three of the four videos; Mile End Films, the fourth. Despite this innovation being a new venture for us all, Isabel and Mile End Films were not only efficient and very responsive in dealing with post-production issues but made the whole venture enjoy- able and fun. The proofing of such a large and multi-authored book is an immense task littered with all sorts of booby traps. Sushant Nailwal and Shikha Jain along with the team at SAGE, India were not only thorough but wonderfully patient, tolerant and forgiving whilst still getting the job done.

We think of human geography as a body of work critically impor- tant for the analysis – and, crucially, the intended transformation and consequent improvement of – the social condition. The short editorial introduction, which follows this prologue, expands on these ideas, although it is the chapters themselves – and the conversations that serve to introduce them – that matter in the demonstration or refutation and legitimation or deligitima- tion of the underlying impulses which gave rise to and shaped the book. In this context, we outline here a number of methodological and logistical issues underpinning its conception and structure. These are crucially important because they both set the frame within which the con- tents of the book emerged and, although as with any published book it will assume a life of its own, they may help to shape the ways in which it might be read and engaged with. First, the intention was to be deliberately synoptic in scope and approach. The concern was to place human geography within a far wider disciplinary frame as a major, if often unrecog- nized, shaper of social life and hence of attempts to interrogate it. But it is not only the limitations of disciplines in failing to get to grips with the complexities of human and more- than-human life that matter but also, unsurprisingly, the geographies that shape these com- plexities. The significance of this point needs no emphasis here given the remarkable flowering of challenges to geographically constrained ways of thinking from what might be loosely termed postcolonial critiques – although such a designation is itself reductive. Many of the chapters that follow adopt an explicitly postcolonial perspective and more do so implicitly. So much to the good. But the point of the postcolonial critique is precisely that – and critique and profound critique at that. And so the emphasis in the book was necessarily laid upon the open- ended nature of social enquiry. But, like all books, this one has its constraints. There are both implicit and explicit structural, institutional and ideological reasons which contribute to the frequent limitations of imagina- tion that constrain the ability to go beyond particular framings. Indeed, as postcolonial writings stress, such constraints are themselves worthy of geographical critique. It is for this reason that this book is but one part of an intellectual project that will, hopefully, surround it. But this requires the involvement of readers in a continuing critique of the book to enable its constant reformulation. The book might – in fact, should – be read as an expression of iterative and reflexive practice, uncovering divides and absences and questioning, always questioning ‘Why?’ and ‘So what?’ Accompanying the book is a blog and a range of electronic social media through which, it is hoped, readers will engage in an exploration of its limitations and thereby contribute to the attempt to improve it. These interventions will shape future editions so that the book may, per- haps, best be thought of as a kind of quinquennial journal with the prospect of a new edition every five years or so. As such, the objective of this project (in both its paper and electronic forms) is one through which we invite readers to engage with the current structure and contents of the text through critical reflection on extant closures and absences, distortions and reduction and on the ways in which these limitations might be addressed. How, for example, does language constrain 00_Lee__BAB1401B0004_Prelims.indd 9 23-Apr-14 2:18:47 PM
