Between 1900 and 2000, a remarkable phenomenon occurred as over seventy countries embarked on the production of national atlases, official or quasi-official representations of their nation-states on maps accompanied by comprehensive text. This book delves into the underlying motivations and distinctive features of this state-sponsored cartographic explosion. These national atlases serve as poignant mirrors, capturing and encapsulating some of the pivotal themes of this turbulent century. They explore the intricate interplay between nation, state, and territory, the emergence of state-sponsored science, the expansion of nation-states, the legacies of colonialism and postcolonialism, and the intricate geography of biopolitics. Through their detailed illustrations and informative narratives, these atlases provide a valuable insight into the complex tapestry of the 20th century, shedding light on the geopolitical, social, and cultural transformations that shaped the world we inhabit today.
