This Is Not an Atlas – A Global Collection of Counter–Cartographies

This book gathers over forty counter-cartographies from all over the world. This collection shows how maps are created and transformed as a part of political struggle, for critical research, or in art and education; from indigenous territories in the Amazon to the anti-eviction movement in San Francisco; from defending commons in Mexico to mapping refugee camps with balloons in Lebanon; from slums in Nairobi to squats in Berlin; and from supporting communities in the Philippines to reporting sexual harassment in Cairo. The book seeks to inspire, to document the underrepresented, and to be a useful companion when becoming a counter-cartographer yourself.
