"Highly recommended." — Choice

"Harvey certainly succeeds in furthering the academic debate on cosmopolitanism by crisply introducing an intriguing and original line of critical inquiry." — Hilde Eliassen Restad, The Hedgehog Review

"Cosmopolitanism and the Geographies of Freedom offers a wide range of arguments across a number of fields. The synthesis is original and challenging, and the claims significant. Its arguments and implications will certainly provoke much discussion. As ever with David Harvey's work, this book is clearly organized and written in a confident, engaging style." — Stuart Elden, professor of geography, Durham University
