Greetings! Please join us for "Mapping Whose Detroit?
<https://lib.umich.edu/visit-and-study/events-and-exhibits/today-and-upcoming/mapping-whose-detroit>
", a talk with Alex B. Hill, author of the new book, *Detroit in 50 Maps
<https://beltpublishing.com/products/detroit-in-50-maps>. *Events past and
present have shaped Detroit’s physical geography as well as our perceptions
of its shape — not only spatially, but also as it pertains to identity and
sense of community. DETROITography <https://detroitography.com/> places
emphasis on the unique way that people within the city think about space
and place — their own idiosyncratic demographics and pathways and memories,
all offering an array of insights and directives as to the exact location
of Detroit embedded within history, but at the same time, transformative
related to dominant narratives of the city.

Alex B. Hill is an Adjunct Professor at Wayne State University and
principal cartographer for DETROITography <https://detroitography.com/>, a
project conceived and curated by him that creates and features maps of
Detroit.
