Crossings: A Journey Through Borders - Softcover

Borders are a huge topic today, part of our zeitgeist. What do they mean? How do we define them? In Crossings Nicholas Murray considers the borders he has confronted ? geographic, cultural, linguistic, social, class, religious, sexual ? and reflects on the influence of borders on how we think of ourselves and others, in his typically dynamic style.
