Impact Factor: 1.945

For over 40 years Antipode has published dissenting scholarship that explores and utilizes key geographical ideas like space, scale, place, borders and landscape. It aims to challenge dominant and orthodox views of the world through debate, scholarship and politically-committed research, creating new spaces and envisioning new futures. Antipode welcomes the infusion of new ideas and the shaking up of old positions, without being committed to just one view of radical analysis or politics.

In addition to publishing academic papers, Antipode publishes short polemical interventions and longer, more reflective explorations of radical geography in particular fields or locations. The journal has an Interventions section, publishes special issues and book issues, and publishes book review symposia as well as normal book reviews. The journal also undertakes wider activities in the service of geographically-informed Left-wing analysis and politics, such as Summer Institutes and the warding of annual graduate scholarships.

• Essential reading for critical social scientists
• Publishes cutting-edge radical theory and research
• The only left-wing journal dedicated to exploring the geographical constitution of power and resistance
• Explores how space, place, border, scale and landscape both shape and are shaped by unequal social relations.

The Antipode Book Series
Including commissioned texts probing new theoretical and political frontiers in radical geographical analysis as well as edited collections which were originally published as special issues of the journal, the Antipode Book Series publishes scholarship which resonates with or develops Antipode's core objectives.
