Review Quotes:
"Violent Geographies is...a much needed volume that focuses on the many forms and victims of terrorism and defines terror (whether perpetuated by states or nonstate actors) as a form of calculated political action with defined goals. In demonstrating the ability and desire of geographers to analyze and critique contemporary political violence, this book is most effective and a vital contribution." -- Colin Flint, Annals of the Association of American Geographers
