A delight to behold, this is an incredible achievement rarely seen in modern cartography." --William McNulty, cartographer, former director of maps at National Geographic, former graphics editor, New York Times "This bright, rolling river of a book carries a chorus of mapmakers, writers, and artists singing of deep memory in New Orleans. Unfathomable City is a book to cherish--and sure to be a classic." --Jason Berry, New Orleans-based journalist and coauthor of Up from the Cradle of Jazz: New Orleans Music since World War II "Race, space, and place: this atlas is a people's ecology of persistent resistance, an open-ended historical geography guiding toward an indomitable future--a permanent revolution no less likely than the city itself. Read this book!" --Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences, CUNY Graduate Center
