ABSTRACT
Cartographies connect people and places through the powerful representational practices of mapping. However, the way particular people become cartographically connected to particular places in mapping practices have not necessarily involved those people in determining the character of the connections being made. Maps do not represent relationships between people and places in a value neutral way (see Robinson 1994). Instead, the way maps are conceived, as well as created, reflects the cartographic perception of the map-makers and the power relationships informing that perception.
