{"title":"Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future: Kanaka Maoli and Critical Settler Cartographies in Hawai’i","authors":"Gary L. Fitzpatrick","doi":"10.1080/03085694.2022.2044187","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03085694.2022.2044187","url":null,"abstract":"Mapping America: The Incredible Story opens with a prologue followed by ten chapters, an epilogue, further reading and a notes’ section. There is no index. The chapters are organized in a mix of chronological order spliced with topical interludes, starting with ‘The Dawn of the Renaissance’ and continuing with ‘The Discovery [sic] of the Americas’, ‘The First European Settlements’, ‘The Golden Age of Cartography’, ‘The Eighteenth-Century Colonization of America’, ‘Daily Life in the English Colonies’, ‘Mapping the Prelude to War’, ‘The Outbreak of Rebellion’, ‘The Battle for Independence’, and ‘The Road to Victory’. The authors have an ambitious goal claiming that ‘this book will tell the full story of America, from the Age of Discovery through the Revolutionary War... through the art of mapmaking’. There is a disconnect, though, between the stated aim and what is delivered, especially visually. One would reasonably expect a story about stunning maps to have many detailed close-ups of maps, or at least enough information to find out more about them. Yet few of the maps state where they are located or who supplied the images. Most such information is missing, including size and the version presented. While each of the 147 images (just over half are maps) is labelled as ‘Fig. 1, Fig. 2’ etc., none is directly referred to within the text, and the reader is left to hunt them down. Usually the figures are on the same page or within a page of where they are discussed, but sometimes a map is brought up in the narrative without a corresponding image. At other times the caption of an image tells a mini story about its relevance but will not otherwise be mentioned in the body of the text. For a book with the word ‘maps’ in the title, they are treated as if an afterthought. Certain aspects of the writing are disappointingly and cringingly dated, such as the use of the word ‘discovery’ without irony more than a dozen times, including as chapter and section headings. When telling a history of the process of the United States becoming a nation, the story is relayed with an openly biased perspective. The text refers to ‘we’ when addressing the presumed reader, who is clearly white, male, Christian and of European ancestry. For example, ‘North America before the arrival of Europeans was not the untamed land that we often believe it to be’. It would be a challenge to find an educated, indigenous or aware person who believes this today. There are gaps in the survey of historical mapping of the era purported to be covered thoroughly. For example, not a single Des Barres map is mentioned, which anyone studying this time period would expect to see. And there are false claims. For example, a map said to be never-before-published (Henri Soules [sic], Plan of the Battle of Yorktown, 1787) is easily found digitized and online. Examples of inconsistent captions, missing information and lack of credit abound. The Incredible Story is an attempt at a history of the early Unit","PeriodicalId":44589,"journal":{"name":"Imago Mundi-The International Journal for the History of Cartography","volume":"74 1","pages":"128 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47752529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ferdinand","doi":"10.1080/03085694.2022.2044180","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03085694.2022.2044180","url":null,"abstract":"As historians of science and of knowledge, the words we use are inextricably connected to the worlds we research, and vice versa. Veronica Della Dora ’ s The Mantle of the Earth provides a revealing and detailed study of the ‘ textile ’ metaphors that have been used by geographers, geologists, mapmakers and other thinkers and crafters throughout many centuries. The book is structured chronologically and falls into four different sec-tions, each with a specific thematic accent. Each part of the book subsequently contains two or three chapters each. The third part, entitled ‘ The surfaces of modernity ’ , provides an excellent read on the history of geography and cartography. In the first chapter of this part, the emergence of geography as an academic discipline is discussed, paying specific attention to the changing role of the geographer: the geographer slowly became ‘ an objective describer of the surface of the earth and its regions ’ (p. 163). This shift happened roughly during the early years of the twentieth century. The ‘ birth ’ of the academic discipline we know today is discussed before, but by positioning this development in a longer tradition and by focusing on the ways geographers describe their activities, Della Dora offers a very innovative perspective on the existing historiographical narratives. She brings together knowledges, practices and verbal and visual representations of how people from the past have approached the world around them. For instance, in describing the changing nature of geography in the early twentieth century, she says, The old mantle of the earth thus becomes a tablecloth under the scrutiny of the geographer ’ s omniscient gaze. Humboldt ’ s contemplation of landscape as a theatre made of visibilities and invisibilities, the Romantic pantheistic interfusion with its ele-ments, the mystical curtains of haze and light have now all been replaced by the sys-tematic study of the morphology of the tablecloth, of its ripples, folds, and tattered edges, of the features lying","PeriodicalId":44589,"journal":{"name":"Imago Mundi-The International Journal for the History of Cartography","volume":"74 1","pages":"125 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47566756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parlier had become convinced of the centrality of geographical knowledge to French national security and interests. His manuals brought geographical and cartographical literacy to a generation of students in France. This paper examines those manuals, specifically in terms of how they were designed to present the cartographic craft to school-aged children, a new market for this discipline. Parlier’s strategy involved simplifying continents and countries to appear as geometrical forms and going on to focus on their physical attributes, such as rivers, mountains and coasts, thus encouraging teachers to lecture less and students to draw more.","PeriodicalId":44589,"journal":{"name":"Imago Mundi-The International Journal for the History of Cartography","volume":"74 1","pages":"102 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46986445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
