Sinopsis
The process of map-making requires cartographers to limit content in order to create a readable map and so allows them to manipulate their audience with the information they choose to include. This combination of power and subjectivity has repeatedly put maps at the center of controversy. My goal here is to lay out the territory of map controversy by exploring the ways maps are used to convince people and by examining how a map can play various roles as a contest, prize, or stratagem. - Introduction.
