Spatial Divisions of Labor

Reviews / Votes

"If by "classic" is meant a widely cited standard work, then such is Doreen Massey's Spatial Divisions of Labor. Her book unquestionably ranks as one of the most significant to have appeared within the geographical literature over the past decade or so." -- Progress inHuman Geography
"The book is a considerable achievement in a whole variety of ways. Its scope is enormous, the theoretical framework innovatory, and the method exemplary. New concepts are introduced, theory and empirical analysis are carefully interwoven, and there is a valuable combination of breadth and depth in the analysis. Last but not least the book is of considerable relevance to a range of current political debates and the approach should provoke a good deal more empirical research." -- Environment andPlanning A
"With this provocative and stimulating book Marxist economic geography has come of age." -- Geography

"Massey's radical theoretical discussion is stimulating and valuable, and her review of the evidence is persuasive, and useful in helping us understand some of the links between the regional mosaic of industry and local social and political diversity. . . . the book is a significant and worthwhile endeavor." -- ReviewingSociology
". . . a major contribution and should become a standard text." -- Urban Studies
