Overview

Since 1969 Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography has published peer-reviewed papers that push Geography’s critical edge, intending to engender the development of a new and better society. Many are inspired by Marxist, socialist, anarchist, anti-racist, anticolonal, feminist, queer, trans*, green, and postcolonial thought; however, the journal has always welcomed the infusion of new ideas and the shaking-up of old positions through dialogue and discussion, never being committed to just one view of critique. Antipode is committed to the new, the innovative, the creative, and the heretofore unthought radical edges of spatial theorisation and analysis. Its papers are groundbreaking, their clear arguments develop geographical thinking, and they do much more than simply add examples to support what we already know. Antipode papers reflect upon and extend the debates of our time, pushing literatures, knowledge and politics to and beyond their extant boundaries, exploring new themes and agendas, and putting new research or critical analysis to work to make interventions in the order of things.

Now appearing five times a year and published by Wiley, Antipode offers some of the best and most provocative geographical work available today; work from both geographers and their fellow travellers; from scholars both eminent and emerging. Antipode also publishes translated essays (both new and already published), short commentaries (or “Interventions”; these meditate on the state of radical practice and/or theory, cast a radical geographer’s eye over “live” events, or report strategies for change and forms of organisation producing more socially just and radically democratic life), book reviews and review symposia (like Interventions, these are online-only and open access), and the Antipode Book Series (which publishes scholarship reflecting distinctive new developments in radical geographical research). It is complemented by a companion website, AntipodeFoundation.org

Antipode is owned by the Antipode Foundation. The Foundation was incorporated as a private company limited by guarantee (no. 7604241) and registered as a charity (no. 1142784) in 2011. It has a governing body of seven trustees/directors and a secretary to whom the day-to-day management of its affairs is delegated. The Foundation’s principal charitable activity and source of income is the production of Antipode; surpluses generated are either [i] distributed in the form of grants made to universities and similar institutions to support conferences, workshops and seminar series or collaborations between academics and non-academic activists, or [ii] used to arrange and fund summer schools and other meetings, public lectures, and the translation of academic publications. Together with Antipode itself, these initiatives promote and advance, for public benefit, social scientific research, education and scholarship in the field of radical and critical geography by enabling the pursuit and dissemination of valuable new knowledge.
