Abstract
This commentary picks up on how James Sidaway sets up his ‘critical Muslim geographies’ through a selective reading and critique of Western geography's Eurocentrism. It traces how Isaiah Bowman, Henri Lefebvre, and Neil Smith are used for this purpose, and then homes in on Sidaway's reading of Lefebvre's flippant Orientalism and elision of tier-mondism, suggesting that fuller investigation of this scene is warranted.
