The geographies of political ecology: after Edward Said

Joel Wainwright

Received 28 May 2004; in revised form 3 September 2004

Abstract. This paper offers theoretical reflections on a series of questions raised by the shift in political ecology from the Third World to the First: what precisely constitutes a context for political ecology? How does something come to be a space or region that calls for political ecology? To respond to these questions, I argue for a turn to the thought of Edward Said, who articulates a Gramscian approach to geography that calls into question the constitution of the world.
