Geopiracy is a study of the ´Bowman expeditions´-a project through which geographers, with funding from the US Army, are mapping the ´human terrain´ of foreign lands. Wainwright offers a critique of human geography today that draws on contemporary social theory to raise unsettling questions about the nature of geography´s disciplinary formation.
