"In this book, Klinghoffer examines the world perceptions of various civilizations and the ways in which maps have been formulated to serve the agenda of cartographers and their patrons. He analyzes the recent decline of sovereignty, the spread of globalization, the reassertion of ethnic identity, and the ways in which these trends affect contemporary mapmaking."--BOOK JACKET.
