Resources for thinking through race and gender within Geography

Juanita Sundberg suggested that we accompany the manifesto with a bibliography of work that inspired it.  The list below is an excellent tutorial for thinking through the power relations that shape many aspects of our field, from conferences to fieldwork.  To be clear, this is not a bibliography of work by geographers about race and gender in society; it is a bibliography of work on the dynamics of race and gender within the discipline itself.

We chose to put the list in chronological rather than alphabetical order so you can see how the conversation has changed over time.

If you see things we should add, please send them my way.
