‘Counter-mapping’ refers to efforts by indigenous peoples and others to map against dominant colonial power structures and geographical representations. This chapter considers the historical evolution, varied methodologies and real-world applications of counter-mapping and reflects on its possibilities, ambivalences and limits. While the empowering effects of ‘mapping the subaltern’ are often taken for granted, critical accounts question the ability of maps to transform dominant relations of knowledge, space, and power. Nevertheless, the diversity of counter-mapping projects and approaches defies simple generalization. While mapping is never power-free, it represents an important field for contemporary struggles over representation, rights and resources – and one in which subaltern actors are increasingly seeking to intervene.
