Bahamas: Mapping Perspectives  · Global Voices
Janine Mendes-Franco

Bahamian Nicolette Bethel, linking to a blog called Strange Maps, muses on the fact that “mapping is an exercise not only in making sense out of the world, but in dominating the world. A map, like a book, is not a fact; it is an interpretation of a fact, a representation of what the mind understands to be reality.”
