@egubrium Hey Erika, Here is a link that compares Mercator to a true size map.

Also see if this link would help in explaining decolonization better.

There are also some reimagined versions of the world map, with the Americas falling to the east. On Google Images. The ones I found were still Mercator versions though.

@lash thanks!!

@lash the map as history link is great, too!!

@soyluisosorio @lash it really does!!

@egubrium @soyluisosorio Let me add another true size map to this thread.

@lash @soyluisosorio thanks! Using these maps in my teaching this week. A great addition!

@egubrium @soyluisosorio

Nice! A think tank called the 'South-South Solidarity' had a similar logo. I will try to find it....The idea there, was to flip the global order, challenge the hegemony and giving more prominence to the Global South. #Maps are fun.

@lash @soyluisosorio yes, do share! I love maps, especially subversive ones.
