Abstract
The role and status of geographical traditions that exist outside of the Anglo-American heartland of the discipline has generated considerable debate in the last decade. The context for these debates is a growing recognition of the dominance of Anglo-American geographical scholarship and the relative marginality of geographies of and from the periphery. Research and writing on the limited international scope of so-called 'international' geography journals, the exclusionary practices of editors and referees of the discipline's flagship journals involved in assessing papers produced from the margins, and the challenges faced by geographers attempting to contribute to broader geographical scholarship from non-Anglophone speaking contexts point to the specific practices that underpin the marginal position of geographical traditions outside the discipline's heartland.
