They can change how cities are designed and how rivers flow, how wars are fought and how land claims are settled, how children learn about race and how colonialism becomes a habit of mind. Maps don't just show us information - they help construct our world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCartographer and historian William Rankin argues that it's time to reimagine what a map can be and how it can be used. Maps are not neutral. They are innately political, defining how the world is divided, what becomes visible and what stays hidden, and whose voices are heard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrimming with vibrant, radical maps created by Rankin and by other cutting-edge mapmakers, \u003ci\u003eRadical Cartography\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the map as a tool of the status quo. Changing our maps can change the questions we ask, the answers we accept - and the planet we build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWilliam Rankin\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian of science at Yale University, where he specializes in the history of mapping and the geographic sciences.
