Title
Map wars in the Middle East: How cartographers charted and helped shape a regional conflict
Abstract
But no matter the purpose, all maps have something in common: They are political. Making maps is about making decisions about what to omit and what to include. They are subject to selection, classification, abstractions and simplifications. And studying the choices that go into maps can reveal different stories about land and the people who claim it as theirs.
