Thoughts and Reflections on: "Lines in the Sand" and “Remapping the World"

 

     Following WWI the middle east and Africa were divided not on religous, and ethnic boundries, but rather boundries of Eropean spheres of influence. The issue with this is many of the boundries of africa and the middle east were European colonies which carved out boundries based on economic and trading resources ignoring ethocultral boundries. Haisam Hussein proposed a new map of the middle east which included religeous and cultral boundries. He based his map on the pre-colonial era kingdoms, which were for the most part at peace. This map is a product of the modern era because it is a product of post-colonialism. post-colonialism is a modern ideology.
