    Abstract

    In his translator's introduction to For a New Geography Archie Davies highlights the many guises of Milton Santos – from powerhouse of Brazilian geography, through to radical geographer of international standing. However, my engagement with Santos falls into another category: ‘the English-language Milton Santos, a much more fragmented, uncertain and emergent figure’ (Davies, 2021). Santos has certainly been talked about and written about more widely in English-language settings over the past few years (see Davies, 2021; Ferretti, 2020; Ferretti and Viotto Pedrosa, 2018; Melgaço, 2017). However, I was particularly curious to engage with this new translation as it contributes to a wider push to diversify and decolonise the histories of geography, which have tended to reinforce Anglo-American hegemony.
