Making connections among colonialism, mapping, resistance, and theology: George Tink Tinker, Clifford Baldridge Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions at the Iliff School of Theology, has this to say about Mapping Exile and Return: Alain Epp Weaver reminds us that maps have also come especially to serve a powerful political service to modern states, including the state of Israel in its claim to Palestinian lands. The power of this volume, however, is that Epp Weaver traces for us the use of mapping technologies as acts of resistance on the part of Palestinians, created from the perspective of exile. The result is a creative call for re-imagining the modernist notions of states, borders, and boundaries. bit.ly/18OMjLS
