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. "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 The Mapping Stereotypes project developed from a satirical map of Europe made by Yanko Tsvetkov in 2009. After it became an Internet sensation, the author started expanding the initially spontaneous idea, focusing on national prejudices and stereotypes. The project has been featured widely in the media all over the world: BBC Radio, The Telegraph and The Guardian newspapers in the UK; the Rai Uno TV, Corriere della Sera newspaper and Focus magazine in Italy; the Izvestiya newspaper in Russia; The Times of India ; the Süddeutsche Zeitung in Germany; the Aftenposten newspaper in Norway; Newsweek Polska magazine in Poland; The Daily Beast and Wired in the USA; the regional editions of GQ magazine in Brazil and South Africa; the Semana magazine in Colombia; the Sábado magazine in Portugal; and many others. The German Stern magazine recognized it as "Satire of the Year" in its 2011 kaleidoscope edition. In 2013 the project was transformed into an illustrated book, Atlas of Prejudice . After its publication the German newspaper Die Zeit described it as "ironic and at the same time an effective contribution to cultural understanding." Der Spiegel magazine added, "Not since the creation of the Asterix comics have national prejudices entered our culture in such an entertaining way." Already a bestseller in Germany, the book was published in France, where it reached the Top 5 in the French Amazon bestseller list. Literary critic Augustin Trapenard ( Le Grand Journal, Canal+ ) called it "whimsical, provocative, and thrilling." So far the Atlas of Prejudice has been translated and published in English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. Today the project contains more than 110 maps. Yanko Tsvetkov is a Bulgarian artist who lives in Spain, writes in English, and publishes books in Germany, France, Russia, Turkey, Italy, and China. He has visited several continents, passed through thick jungles, picnicked in scorching deserts, and booked a few taxis in busy metropolises. Today he leads a second life as a superhero that fights prejudice with his giant laser and his gorgeous cape. His distaste for writing autobiographical notes is a well-guarded secret.
