"""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 ""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 ""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"
