I would like to draw colleagues' attention to the following new publication:
Peter Hughes Jachimiak (2014), Remembering the Cultural Geographies of a Childhood Home, Surrey: Ashgate
http://www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781409448129
Reviews: ‘This is a beautiful and heartfelt book which skilfully weaves together aspects of space, place, memory, emotional geographies of childhood, home and neighbourhood through lenses of auto-ethnography, cultural history and more besides.’
Owain Jones, Bath Spa University, UK
‘A wonderful example of “doing cultural geography”: of evocative and resonant auto-ethnography. A kaleidoscopic view of the 1970s in which the places, experiences, beliefs and reveries of a childhood in South Wales and the books, comics, television programmes, films and popular pursuits of the period constantly shift to create new and provocative perceptions of the cultural fabric and transformations of that difficult decade. A valuable, creative and highly readable addition to the literature on geographies of childhood, and especially on the impact of media.’
