The Turnabout Map

The way maps may reflect (and influence) our thinking is exempli-

fied by the Turnabout Map, which places the South Pole at the top

and the North Pole at the bottom. Words and phrases such as “on

top,” “over,” and “above” tend to be equated by some people with

superiority. Turning things upside-down may cause us to rethink the

way North Americans regard themselves in relation to the people of

Central America. © 1982 by Jesse Levine Turnabout Map™—Dist.
