ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the relationship between race and cartography as entwined with histories of exclusion, attempted erasure, dispossession and appropriation of spatial knowledges. The authors discuss how participatory mapping approaches can more deliberately address issues of race, power and privilege to support recognition, reparation and rematriation within communities historically disadvantaged by Western geospatial technologies. They share experiences partnering with Black and Indigenous communities on political countermapping and decolonial mapping projects to advance policy and systems change for environmental justice and Indigenous rights.
