"How does culture alter borders? And how do borders alter culture? Borders, Culture, and Globalization, edited by Victor Konrad and Melissa Kelly, addresses this double-barrelled question by exploring the relationship between culture and borders. Border culture, the vessel of commitment between countries and their peoples, finds itself at the intersection and engagement of imagination, affinity, and identity, made plain wherever boundaries separate or sort people, their goods, and their ideas. Assuming many forms, and with ever-evolving contours, it merges with the globalization continuum. Offering a general overview and critical assessments prepared by experts in a variety of interconnecting disciplines, this volume identifies the fundamental currents of border culture in motion and establishes an approach to understanding how it is placed and replaced within a context of globalization."
