Items related to Maps and Politics - British hardcover
1997, British hardcover edition, Reaktion Books, London, U.K. 188 pages. Outstanding images / illustrations (some color) / maps throughout. This is another title in the publisher's Picturing History series. "We all rely on the apparent accuracy and objectivity of maps, but often do not see the very process of mapping as political. Are the power and purpose of maps inherently political?" The author takes this approach and demonstrates ways that maps are "... not straightforward visual texts, but contain political and politicizing subtexts that need to be read with care."

From the Inside Flap:
Do maps accurately and objectively present the information we expect them to portray, or are they instead colored by the political purposes of their makers? In this lively and well-illustrated book, Jeremy Black investigates this dangerous territory, arguing persuasively that the supposed "objectivity" of the map-making and map-using process cannot be divorced from aspects of the politics of representation.
About the Author:
Jeremy Black is a professor of history at the University of Exeter. He is the author of many books, including Maps and History: Constructing Images of the Past.
