The Noisy Immigrant
Global Apartheid Project
Start here

Mapping Global Apartheid — how borders, money & data lock in inequality.

This hub pulls together maps, timelines, and investigations into how power is structured: who can move, who gets debt, who controls resources — and who is left outside the gates.

What you'll find
Interactive tools for understanding global power structures: colonial wealth flows, IMF conditionality, trade rules, and critical minerals.
How to use this

Start with the map, then dive into timelines and deep-dive episodes. All designed for classrooms, organisers, and anyone trying to make sense of “the system.”

Start here: what do we mean by “Global Apartheid”?

“Global apartheid” is a way of naming the structure, not just the symptoms: which countries set the rules, who gets cheap credit and data centres, who lives with sanctions, and whose borders stay open when crises hit.

Colonial wealth flows → present-day debt Critical minerals & supply chains Borders, passports & mobility Data, chips & AI infrastructure

Maps: follow the flows

These interactive maps are built for teaching, organising, and live breakdowns. Use filters, hover states and toggles to trace where value, rules, and people actually move.

Timelines: how the rules were built

The “rules of the game” didn’t appear out of nowhere. These timelines track how institutions like the IMF were created, how their tools evolved, and what that meant for countries on the receiving end.

Deep dives: livestreams, essays & datasets

Each map or timeline sits inside a larger story. These are the episodes, essays and datasets that dig into the politics behind the visuals.
