Description
Mapping Latin America brings together scholars from diverse disciplines to examine and interpret over five centuries of maps from the region. This lavishly illustrated volume explores how cartography has shaped Latin America, from the hand-drawn maps of Native Americans to those produced in today's newspapers and magazines.
The book features a wide range of maps, each with its own interpretation, providing insight into how Latin American countries, regions, provinces, and municipalities came to be defined, measured, organized, occupied, settled, disputed, and understood. This collection is an excellent resource for understanding the significance of maps in human cultures and societies.
