Summary:
"In the wake of the EU referendum, the United Kingdom'
s
border
with
Ireland
has gained greater significance: it is set to become the frontier with the European Union. Over the past year, Garrett Carr has travelled this
border
, on foot and by canoe, to uncover a landscape with a troubled past and an uncertain future. Across this thinly populated line, travelling down hidden pathways and among ancient monuments, Carr encounters a variety of characters who have made this liminal space their home. He reveals the turbulent history of this landscape and changes the way we look at nationhood,
land
and power. The book incorporates Carr'
s
own maps and photographs." -- From publisher.
