About the Book

International borders are among the most significant political inventions of modern times. The borders between national states are not just important to the peoples and governments who face each other across the borderline – any international border can become a regional hotspot of global concern. But aside from the significant role borders play in national and international affairs, borders are also places and spaces where people live, work, raise families, and build businesses. Written for students across disciplines, Borders, Boundaries, Frontiers introduces readers to the study of borders and border cultures. Thomas M. Wilson examines both historical foundations and current developments in the field, with an emphasis on anthropological contributions. Ultimately, Borders, Boundaries, Frontiers encourages students to explore the role anthropology plays in the understanding of contemporary borders.

Review :
"Borders, Boundaries, Frontiers is filled with clear, concise summaries of current ideas and knowledge, which teachers, students, and the public will value, but its greatest asset is its humanity, its sympathy for the people of borderlands."--Josiah Heyman, University of Texas at El Paso "Concise, accessible, and global in scope, this book offers both a timely introduction to a vibrant field of anthropological enquiry and a compelling argument for the importance of the border as a site from which to think critically about state, security, and identity in the modern world."--Madeleine Reeves, University of Oxford "Bringing together a wealth of insights and themes from the anthropology of borders as well as from the wider border studies field, Thomas M. Wilson reveals the many ways in which borders are central to the everyday lives of both nation and state - and makes a compelling case for ethnography as key to understanding them."--Ruben Andersson, University of Oxford
