Stuart Elden and Morteza Hajizadeh – New Books discussion of The Birth of Territory

Although I’ve done quite a few interviews for the New Books Network with Dave O’Brien, these were on the Foucault books and Shakespearean Territories. So I was pleased to be asked by Morteza Hajizadeh to have a discussion of my earlier book The Birth of Territory (University of Chicago Press, 2013). I’m not sure anyone celebrates 11th birthdays of books, but it is close to that anniversary.

Thanks to Morteza and the New Books Network for the interest in the book. I talk a bit about Terror and Territory at the start, and Shakespearean Territories at the end, so it briefly covers all my work on this question.
