“Allen moves the debate on power into the everyday effects of
human social action. In so doing he not only enriches the debate in
numerous ways but also shows how theoretical discussion of power
can no longer avoid addressing power’s inherent
spatiality.”
John Agnew, Department of Geography, UCLA

“John Allen provides new maps of the spatiality of power.
The wonderful thing is not just that some familiar accounts are
revitalised, but also that new forms of understanding power are
born.”
Professor Nigel Thrift
John Allen offers us a refreshing and provocative account of
power in social theory, attending in particular to one of its
missing dimensions, that of space ... this is an attractive book,
welcome in particular for its attention to the complexities and
multiple modalities of power."
American Journal of Sociology
"Lost Geographies of Powers is a subtle and well argued
book. It deserves a wider readership than its title suggests and
should be read by social scientists in general, not just
geographers."
