  • Neil Smith, 1954-2012: Radical Geography, Marxist Geographer, Revolutionary Geographer
    1 Neil Smith, 1954-2012: Radical Geography, Marxist Geographer, Revolutionary Geographer Don Mitchell Department of Geography, Syracuse University and Advanced Research Collaborative, Graduate Center City University of New York September 29, 2013 "Although we found it easy to be brilliant, we always found it confusing to be good." Salman Rushdie, Midnight's Children (quotation found pinned to the bulletin board in Neil Smith’s study when passed away) Neil Smith hated hagiography. He would rail against it in his history and theory of geography seminars at Rutgers University in the early 1990s, holding up what he thought were particularly egregious examples: obituaries published in the Annals. Hagiography for Neil was the antithesis of what our disciplinary history ought to be: it was uncritical and celebratory, when what were needed were hard-nosed engagements with ideas, with real histories that understood ideas as the product of struggle and error as well as genius and insight. Even worse, hagiography extracted its subject from history, setting him (usually him) apart from the world as a lone genius rather than fully ensconcing him in messy social (and personal) practices, situating ideas within the social (and personal) histories from which they emerged. Hagiography had little room to show how what was genius in someone’s ideas might be inextricably linked to, indeed very much a function of both social context and what was flawed or less savory in that person. Hagiography denies that ideas are embodied. Neil’s ideas were embodied. 2 Indeed, David Harvey calls Neil “the perfect practicing Marxist – completely defined by his contradictions.”1 Born in Leith, the old port of Edinburgh, and raised one of four children of a school teaching father and homemaking mother in Dalkeith, a small working-class town to the southeast of the city, Neil had an indestructible passion for the natural world, starting with his native Midlothian landscape and quickly spiraling out, for birdwatching, and for gardening, and he became geography’s preeminent urban theorist.

  • Geographic Conquest: Isaiah Bowman's View of South America
    seven Geographic Conquest: Isaiah Bowman’s View of South America The great epic of America is the conquest of the land. From the outset geography has par- ticipated in this conquest, leading the way at some junctures, profiting greatly from fol- lowing leadership at others. Geog raph i cal science thus has had at its disposal a laboratory of continental dimensions. Out of it have come our techniques, our methods of analysis and synthesis, and our great contributions to geographic science and philosophy. There never was a time, however, when that laboratory invited our scientific attention more than it does today. Contemporary society, in trying to plan for the future, is taking stock of its human and its natural resources. In this stock- taking and in certain aspects of the planning, geography has a part. — isaiah bowman, quoted in Charles C. Colby, “Changing Currents of Geographic Thought in America” (emphasis added) In his 1935 presidential address to the Society of American Geographers, Charles C. Colby acknowledged the mutual interaction between building the field of geography and the expansion of the U.S. nation. He presented the U.S. West and, by extension, the American continent as a great laboratory for geographic research. A practical science, geography had participated in the “conquest of the land,” contributing a continental inventory of resources for economic growth. In the mid- nineteenth century, through surveys and re- connaissance work, geographers had assisted the construction of the trans- Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/chapter-pdf/669559/9780822374503-008.pdf by guest on 26 September 2021 continental railroad, mediated disputes around the U.S.- Mexico border, and facilitated the settlement of the Mississippi basin.
