Preferred term

Richard Peet  

Definition

  • One of radical geography's most passionate and vociferous promoters, Richard Peet has devoted his career to exposing the ways in which power and inequality are manifested in global society. Although in some senses Peet's career reveals remarkable consistency and stability—since receiving his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1968, he has been a professor at Clark University, and his commitment to Marxism has been unwavering—the focus of his analysis has shifted over the decades.
