Fences and Walls: A Not-So-Final Reflection On Preservations, Prohibitions, and Places in Motion Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsJacob Kinnard sets his sights on a place, and sits and watches that place over time, observing shifts in light, the movements of people cutting across the frame, and ultimately takes note of the ways people gather together. These chapters are like long exposure photographs, with the resulting image capturing the blurs of activity of many people for many purposes over time. By seeing places in motion, Kinnard also puts scholarship in motion. A rich take on space through time. S. Brent Plate, author of A History of Religion in 5 1/2 Objects Author InformationJacob N.
