Welcome to IOU Digital Library

A comprehensive critical-theoretical introduction to mapping and GIS that examines how maps and spatial data shape knowledge, power, identity, and social relations. The book combines technical discussion of cartography and GIS with social theory — exploring the history of mapping, the politics of map-making, mapping as a form of governmental rationality, thematic mapping, cyberspace and virtual worlds, race and identity, and the role of mapping in surveillance, geospatial governance, and societal transformation.
