- Anti-Imperialism
in the United States, 1898-1935 (Jim Zwick, Syracuse University). A
truly splended site, painstakingly assembled and well maintained. "These
pages introduce the first organizations formed to oppose U.S.
territorial and economic imperialism and make available ...a
large collection of anti-imperialist literature. Much of it was
written by authors whose works are still appreciated and studied
today but whose roles in the anti-imperialist movement are not
widely known. Other literary responses, like the numerous newspaper
and magazine verses written in response to Rudyard Kipling's "The
White Man's Burden," are restored here from near-total obscurity. These
writings...represent part of the important cultural response
to imperialism." Use the links for History, Literature,
Essays, etc., to browse the archive.

- World
Map: The Peters Projection. Which is bigger, Greenland
or China? With the traditional Mercator map (circa 1569, and
still in use in many schoolrooms and boardrooms today), Greenland
and China look the same size. But in reality China is almost
4 times larger! In response to such discrepancies, Dr. Arno Peters
created a new world map that dramatically improves the accuracy
of how we see the Earth.
