The Power of Maps by Denis Wood is a groundbreaking exploration of how maps are not merely objective representations of geography, but powerful tools that reflect and shape social, political, and cultural realities.
Key Points:
Maps Are Not Neutral:
Wood argues that maps are not passive or purely scientific. They are created with specific intentions and reflect the perspectives, values, and agendas of their makers. Every decision—from what to include or exclude, to how features are symbolized—shapes the message the map conveys.
