Böcker av Milton Santos

One of the greatest and most active Brazilian intellectuals intellectuals, geographer Milton Santos has achieved international recognition for his original thinking. This book brings together, in the form of interviews, his thoughts about modern geography, globalization, and the role of the intellectual and the university in society. "I call globalization globalitarianism because we are living a new phase of totalitarianism. The political system uses contemporary technical systems to produce to produce the current globalization, leading us to forms of of economic relations that accept violence, that do not accept discussion, that demand immediate obedience."

In The Nature of Space, pioneering Afro-Brazilian geographer Milton Santos attends to globalization writ large and how local and global orders intersect in the construction of space.

This book presents an alternative theory of globalization that derives not from the dominant perspective of the West, from which this process emerged, but from the critical vantage point of the Third World, which has borne the heaviest burdens of globalization.
