Brambilla, C: Borderscaping: Imaginations and Practices of B

'This absorbing collection revisits the concept of borderscapes in the light of new writing on territory, landscape and place. The empirical focus on the margins of Europe is timely at a moment of new geopolitical tensions in the East and appalling migrant suffering and deaths in the Mediterranean. But the book is far from bleak, and also celebrates diverse border-crossings.' James D. Sidaway, National University of Singapore, Singapore 'This captivating volume engages with borders and bordering processes in all of their diversity: from the ever harder (and harsher) territorialities of border controls at states' external frontiers, to the ways in which borders travel on individual bodies. This range of approaches and sites/scales of analysis makes it a truly unique collection, bringing perspectives from border studies and political geography together with performative and artistic practice - and thus opening up new possibilities for re-figuring European borders today.'
