Through this innovative approach, the editors propose a manifesto for area studies to be more critical and reflexive; to be undisciplined and deeply engaged with local perspectives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By dismantling the assumptions embedded in atlases and disciplinary boundaries, \u003ci\u003eAnti-Atlas\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers to think differently about how we construct and categorize the world. Of particular interest to scholars of area studies and critical theory, this work reassesses what it means to study places in an era of geopolitical rupture.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTim Beasley-Murray \u003c\/b\u003eis associate professor of European thought and culture at University College London. \u003cb\u003eWendy Bracewell\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of southeast European history at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London. \u003cb\u003eMichal Murawski\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor in critical area studies at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 374\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45862659915973,"sku":"9781800087804","price":81.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/aGeWqyVbSq9781800087804.webp?v=1771571629","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/anti-atlas-critical-area-studies-from-the-east-of-the-west-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
