Beschreibung

"Maps Redrawn" explores the captivating history of maps, demonstrating how they've shaped our world, reflecting not just geography but also power dynamics and cultural perspectives.

 
The book argues that maps are subjective creations influenced by the biases and knowledge of their makers, challenging the notion of maps as neutral representations. It highlights how cartographic errors or deliberate distortions have had real-world consequences, influencing territorial claims and international relations.

 
The book begins by introducing fundamental cartographic principles and tracing the history of mapmaking from ancient times to the Renaissance. It then examines instances of "lost lands" that once appeared on maps but were later removed as scientific knowledge expanded.

 
Progressing further, the book delves into border disputes and political cartography, analyzing how maps have shaped national identities and fueled conflicts, offering a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between maps, history, and geopolitics.

    Vietnam - A War Lost and Won

    Vietnam was the longest war in American history. US ground troops and their Australian, New Zealand and Korean allies were committed there for eight long years. In all, the American commitment in Southeast Asia lasted 15 years. During that time over 46,000 US servicemen died in battle. The Australian and New Zealand troops who fought there lost 496 dead and 2,398 wounded. But these figures pale beside Vietnamese losses, which totalled over a million. 
     
    Vietnam was the first war America lost. It left the country bitterly divided. Many of the 2.7 million Americans who served there suffered psychologically for decades to come and the USA discovered that, for all its might and technological superiority, it could not defeat the ill-equipped peasant army of a small and fiercely determined enemy. 
     
    In this concise account, historian Nigel Cawthorne traces the conflict from its inception to its traumatic end. He looks at the political events that led to the war and examines its impact upon both the Americans and the Vietnamese, whose battle for the independence of their country was to leave lingering scars upon the American psyche. Vietnam: A War Lost and Won is an even-handed assessment of a conflict whose wounds would take a generation to heal.

    A poignant, incisive meditation on Israel's longstanding rejection of peace, and what the war on Gaza means for Palestinian and Israeli futures. 
     
     
     
    When apartheid in South Africa ended in 1994, dismantled by internal activism and global pressure, why did Israel continue to pursue its own apartheid policies against Palestinians? In keeping with a history of antagonism, the Israeli state accelerated the establishment of settlements in the Occupied Territories as extreme right-wing voices gained prominence in government, with comparatively little international backlash. 
     
     
     
    Condensing this complex history into a lucid essay, Raja Shehadeh examines the many lost opportunities to promote a lasting peace and equality between Israelis and Palestinians. Since the creation of Israel in 1948, known to Palestinians as the Nakba, or catastrophe, each side's perception of events has strongly diverged. What can this discrepancy tell us about Israel's undermining of a two-state solution? And will the current genocide in Gaza finally mark a shift in the world's response? 
     
     
     
    With graceful, haunting prose, Shehadeh offers insights into a defining conflict that could yet be resolved.
