Atlas of Prejudice: The Complete Stereotype Map Collection

"Tsvetkov's documentation of stereotypes is both ironic and an effective contribution to cultural understanding." -Die Zeit

"Not since the creation of the Asterix comics have national prejudices entered our culture in such an entertaining way." -Der Spiegel

"Very whimsical, a bit provocative, quite thrilling. One laughs at others as much as one laughs at oneself." -Le Grand Journal, Augustin Trapenard

"A precious geography textbook for everybody." -Télérama, France

More than a hundred stereotype maps glazed with exquisite human prejudice collected by Yanko Tsvetkov, author of the viral Mapping Stereotypes project. Peppered with hilarious essays, the atlas is a satirical encyclopedia of humankind's delusional world views, from classical antiquity and the Middle Ages to Donald Trump and the era of Facebook.

Satire and cartography rarely come in a single package but in the Atlas of Prejudice they successfully blend in a work of art that is both funny and thought-provoking. A reliable weapon against bigots of all kinds, it serves as an inexhaustible source of much needed argumentation and—occasionally—as a nice slab of paper that can be used to smack them across the face whenever reasoning becomes utterly impossible.
