Another very exciting book we have recently indexed at Southwest Humanities is Milton Santos’s The Nature of Space (Duke University Press, 2021), now translated carefully and elegantly into English by Brenda Baletti. In this pioneering work, the Afro-Brazilian geographer “offers a theory of human space based on relationships between time and ontology. He argues that when geographers consider the inseparability of time and space, they can then transcend fragmented realities and partial truths without trying to theorize their way around them. Based on these premises, Santos examines the role of space, which he defines as indissoluble systems of objects and systems of actions in social processes, while providing a geographic contribution to the production of a critical social theory.” Find out more about this title, which will be published in September 2021, at the publisher’s website, here.
