This paper offers a critique of recent representations of 'Marxist geography'. The argument is geared towards those teaching undergraduate courses dealing with the history, philosophy and theory of paradigms within geography. Focusing on three recent student textbooks which offer 'official' accounts of the nature of contemporary geography geared to such courses and on keynote academic commentaries, I point to four persistent problems in the representation of 'Marxist geography' and suggest a template through which teachers can offer students a more discriminating and faithful account of that paradigm. Keywords: Marxist geographyteaching textbooks
