Book Reviews of An Atlas of Radical Cartography
Book Review: Disappointing Results
Summary: 2 Stars
I heard the editors of this book on the radio and I was intrigued by the map ideas, but I was disappointed in the execution. Some of the maps are not maps, but drawings, such as the one of North and South America drawn in a faded red with the label across the continents "Latino/a America." Is this radical? Another, titled "Routes of Least Surveillance," shows surveillance cameras in Manhattan--but the data is from 2001, and there's no explanation of how the data was obtained. Perhaps the included book gives an explanation, but the map should stand on his own. It also has silly little vignettes of people--invented or real?--who might want to avoid the cameras, e.g., Wanda gets the creeps from the though of unsupervised male camera operators ogling her as she returns home from her Power Pilates class. Finally, I didn't find any of these maps particularly attractive or innovative--there's nothing I would want to put on my wall. You'll find much better designed maps in any of Tufte's books. If the point was to get me thinking about radical ideas through cartography, this book failed.
