Description
We have all been asked this question at some time. Often there may be
different answers depending on who is asking and why.
This book sets out to explore the different scales of geographical identity
that we can hold. How important is your neighbourhood to you? Can I ever
consider myself ‘from’ Sheffield given I was born and raised in Bedfordshire?
Are you English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish or British? What does it mean to think
of yourself as European or African? Can anybody actually be a citizen of the
World? These are some of the questions posed by geographer and author Carl
Lee across 35 short stories that are geography or earth writing.
Carl Lee is author of four previous books about geography and a long-term
resident of his home city Sheffield.
