Werner Marion - Doreen Massey Critical Dialogues

Doreen Massey: Critical Dialogues

Economic Transformations

Series Editors: Brett Christophers, Rebecca Lave, Jamie Peck, Marion Werner

Fundamental to the Economic Transformations series is the conviction that geography matters in the diverse ways that economies work, for whom they work, and to what ends. The so-called imperatives of globalization, the promises of development, the challenges of environmental sustainability, the dull compulsion of competitive life, the urgency of campaigns for economic rights and social justice in all of these realms geography really matters, just as it does for a host of other contemporary concerns, from financialized growth to climate change, from green production to gender rights, from union renewal to structural adjustment. This major new series will publish on these and related issues, creating a space for interdisciplinary contributions from political economists, economic geographers, feminists, political ecologists, economic sociologists, critical development theorists, economic anthropologists, and their fellow travellers.

This volume and its companion, The Doreen Massey Reader, were spurred by Doreen Masseys untimely passing in March 2016. As we reflected upon her contributions, we lamented that so many of Masseys works were relatively difficult to access and thus began the process of re-reading her works and making the invidious decisions about what could be included in the Reader. Because Massey was in the middle of so many conversations at the moment of her ill-timed death, we also sought a way to continue those discussions among her long-time collaborators and friends and to extend them to other scholars who, while not directly engaged with Massey, were interested in thinking with the many wonderful conceptual tools that she developed over her career. When we sent out invitations to potential authors, we were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response and the willingness of the contributors to conform to a relatively short timeline. We would like to thank the 39 authors for their insightful and generous contributions to the Doreen Massey: Critical Dialogues volume. The process of creating both volumes benefited immensely from the insights and guidance of John Allen, who serves as the literary executor of Doreens estate. We are also grateful for the support of Agenda Publishing, its managing director, Steven Gerrard, and especially, Alison Howson, who has worked closely with us on the numerous moving parts of the project, as well as the editorial assistance of Rachel Brydolf-Horwitz at UBC. We are indebted to Doreens sister, Hilary Corton, who graciously granted us permission to reprint the work included in The Doreen Massey Reader. All royalties from both volumes will be donated to charities designated by the Massey Estate.
