Description

In recent years, the world has witnessed enormous changes in the political borders between nation-states.

These changes have highlighted the function and meaning of physical borders in the construction of nationality.

While previous anthropological studies have examined the importance of cultural and symbolic boundaries between groups, this book primarily investigates how ethnicity, nationalism, and cultural identity are marked in everyday life at international borders.

It is the first book to collect a wide range of anthropological views on this subject.

Areas covered in this text include West Africa, the Turkish-Syrian border, India and the proposed Khalistan, the German-French border, the Portuguese-Spanish border, and Ireland.

Contributors include Elizabeth Tonkin, Martin Stokes, Joyce Pettigrew, Tomke Lask, William Kavanagh, Amanda Shanks, Hastings Donnan, and Thomas M.

Wilson.
