ABSTRACT
This paper will analyze a tool for raising consciousness and nurturing resistance that comprises cognitive maps and autoethnographies. Termed ‘autoethnographic mapping’ by its authors, the tool was developed in the framework of a college course facilitating dialog between Jewish and Palestinian Arab students in Israel.1 It is a pedagogical tool guided by an understanding of the geographical, spatial organization and experiences of groups and individuals as a concrete manifestation of power structures and political conditions (Mazali 2001a).
