This collection of essays demonstrates how territory (defined as geographically-organized human activity) shapes social life, and explores some of the consequences of this shaping. It elucidates how routine practices of daily living in the realm of social reproduction - gender, family, education, tradition, culture and ethnicity - within territorial limits are effective in maintaining and reproducing the social order of contemporary capitalism.

They hope to provide new focus on contemporary capitalist society. This work provides a demonstration of the territorially-dependent nature of the political, social and economic spheres of human activity.
