In an effort to keep track of my own reading and research I’ve created a map using Google Maps Engine with categories for country-specific work, both fiction and non-fiction, from academic literature to long-form journalism. The map is pretty sparse at the moment, but I’ll keep updating it. Please send along your own reading recommendations by country (or region). Click here to view the map in detail.

The African continent in missions and Islamic trade routes.
Data on missions comes from Roome (1924), via Nathan Nunn. Trade routes digitized from An Historical Atlas of Islam, Brice (1981).
