Mapping has long been a tool by which ruling bodies could claim their entitlement to lands and peoples. Critically reflecting on elements of mapping and imperialism from the late seventeenth century to the early twentieth century, this book contains essays that discuss the nature of the imperial map through a series of case studies of empires.
