"Highly persuasive, robust, and original, The Anarchist Roots of Geography is impossible to ignore. It will provoke and agitate those who need provoking and agitating because it fundamentally changes the underlying assumptions about what it is to be truly radical in a time of crisis."–Dr. Richard J. White, Sheffield Hallam University
"Simon Springer's guide to what an anarchist geography might mean is spirited, lucid, original, and historically deep. It is also, to his great credit, insistent on the creative role of strife and conflict."–James C. Scott, Yale University
"Simon Springer's brilliant vision of an emancipatory spatiality invites us to reflect upon the largely ignored tradition of anarchism in human geography and on the ways in which it can assist us not only to do a better job of being geographers but also to do a better job of changing the world. This is a thoughtful retort to the orthodoxies of radical geography, a welcome challenge to the territorial imperatives of the Neoliberal state, and a thrilling invitation to consider how another world may be possible."–Audrey Kobayashi, PhD, Queen's University
"Springer has convinced me that anarchism deserves a respected seat at the table within radical/critical geography."–Hannes Gerhardt, University of West Georgia
