By focusing on unusual border shapes, this remarkable book highlights the important fact that all borders, even those that seem "natural", were created by people. The unique and powerful dates of some of the world's most dangerous borders provide an ideal framework for accessible and enlightening discussions on cultural globalization, economic integration, international migration, imperialism, post-colonialism, global terrorism, nationalism and supra-nationalism.

The regional expertise of each contributor enriches an accurate account of the historical context in which these limits have emerged, as well as their historical and continuing impact on the persons and countries with which they are associated.

I want that book.
