AB We all know what a map is. We all know that its aim is to capture certain land territories. From the fifth century onwards, maps have been present in history and their importance arises due to their graphic representations and descriptions. In contemporary postcolonial literary texts, the predominance of maps implies a revisioning of the history of European colonialism. Maps intend to implicate those lands with their constituents, their fundamental parts. They detail the internal life that emanates from those illustrations. Therefore, could this conception of maps be applied to the definition of oneself? I truly believe so. Maps here do not only delimit the boundaries of the region in question, the Horn of Africa, but also their innate elements such as Askar and Misra, the protagonists of Maps (1986). This project studies the magic connection that lies between the material, real map of the character’s motherland and the fictitious, imaginary one of their lives.
