Review Quotes: A staggering work of urgent scholarship. Through rigorous, careful engagement with Adorno's oeuvre, Philo affirms the value of critical thought as he uncovers and crafts a compelling 'antifascist geographical imagination'. One of the most important geographical books of the 21st century, Adorno and the Antifascist Geographical Imagination is essential reading amid today's fascistic tendencies.--Ben Anderson, Durham University
