Colonialism Through Maps

Our children are learning about the world in a classroom - a classroom that most likely uses the Mercator map and atlas. he World Map is a very important tool of social conditioning. Peter's social intent in releasing this map was to fight against the Mercator projection as it "over-values the white man and distorts the picture of the world to the advantage of the colonial masters of the time." It is time we begin to educate ourselves and our children rather than relying on the system to do it for us. The Peters Projection World Map is a great place to begin.
