James M. “Jim” Blaut was a teacher, researcher, and political activist, whose work powerfully shaped geographers’ understandings of several topics, particularly colonialism and Eurocentrism as well as the spatial cognition of children. Blaut was born in New York City and completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Blaut, James (1927–2000)]
