Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published five times per year by Wiley-Blackwell and produced by The Antipode Foundation. Its coverage centers on critical human geography and it seeks to encourage radical spatial theorizations based on Marxist, socialist, anarchist, anti-racist, anticolonial, feminist, queer, trans*, green, and postcolonial thought. Originally inspired by the social justice movements of the 1960’s, the journal supports progressive causes through the work of the Antipode Foundation, a UK registered charity. Antipode is also known for its online “Interventions”, its book series, and its diverse workshops and lectures. The chief co-editors are Sharad Chari, Tariq Jazeel, Katherine McKittrick, Jenny Pickerill and Nik Theodore.
Antipode was founded in 1969 by a group of graduate students and junior faculty of the Geography Department at Clark University. It was conceived at the end of a graduate seminar led by David Stea as an attempt to address the pressing issues of the time. The geographers were inspired by movements of the 1960’s such as the protests against the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, and the increasing concern for pollution and environmental deterioration. They sought to produce a “radical geography": one that would directly address the root causes of the major societal issues of the time. Embedded in this project was an attempt to reorient the discipline of geography itself, reworking its relationship with social change and intellectual inquiry.
