Atlas of Prejudice: Mapping Stereotypes, Vol. 1: Volume 1

A very witty knowledgeable booklet. Good reading.

What a great coffee table book. It's thought-provoking and perfect for starting conversation and discussion. Good colours and paper quality.

For what sounds like a coffee table book the size is a bit disappointing but don't be fooled by its appearance, the content is actually brilliant and plentiful. I must confess that prior to getting this book I was already familiar with some of Yanko's maps as he's a friend of mine (trust me, he does not know I'll be writing this review). So I was surprised to discover that there were a lot more maps in this little book, many of which I hadn't seen before. All are quite hilarious and educational in a weird sort of way. The accompanying notes are also interesting to read.As a whole, I loved the book and my cafe customers enjoy it immensely too. My two recommendations are about the size and ideally I personally would have liked to read more notes about every individual map.Good luck to the book and well done to the author!

Bought already few of this - it's the best gift ever for colleagues and friends (with sense of humour)! :))

These books (Atlas of Prejudice 1 & 2) are brilliantly quirky and well researched by the Author. We have all dipped in and out of then over the past few months; very funny indeed. His mock-up facebook page is a work of genius. :-)

Good book

Not as funny as we expected

Super livre. Beaucoup d'humour et des illustrations hilarante. Ne nécessite pas trop de culture pour apprécier l'humour du livre. Donne à réfléchir sur les préjugés de chaque pays

This book is helpful to understand how people around the world think about other nations. It portrays the mental conflict people have between the "self" and the "other" at the level of nations. The maps Tsvetkov created are expressive: they attempt to explain this mental conflict by showing stereotypes people have about their neighbors and the world.Although it is critical of stereotypes, Tsvetkov's book itself creates, at points, stereotypes or magnify existing ones. This usually takes a satirical form, which adds to the beauty of the book.The maps are also graphically interesting. Tsvetkov did a good job in choosing sets of colors that are balanced and eye-catching.

I gave it 20 minutes, and that's exactly how long it manages to keep your attention.Funny little cartoon, but nothing I would like to see in the library and definitely nothing to re-read.The only use for it I can imagine is during those intercultural trainings one needs for ex-pat jobs.

Compre el libro para regalarlo a mi novio. Es muy divertido ver que piensan de un país otras naciones. Nos reímos los dos

Excellent, original and unique book. Well not quite a book, more like a mini-book. But well worth the money. I purchased one on a friend's recommendation and have since given it as a gift 4 TIMES! I have some European background so for me it hits home but its a great read that will bring to the fore many things you thought but could somehow not find the words or thoughts to express. There should be a class on this stuff in schools all over the world!
