Summary:

A collection of ten maps and essays about social issues from globalization to garbage; surveillance to extraordinary rendition; statelessness to visibility; deportation to migration. Inherently political, the atlas provides a critical foundation for an area of work that bridges art/design, cartography/geography, and activism. The maps and essays provoke new understandings of networks and representations of power and its effects on people and places.
