Adding to the burgeoning number of border studies in the historical literature, Nugent (African history, Edinburgh U., UK) explores issues of border negotiation between states, as well as the experiences of border communities, thereby mixing what are generally two distinct methods of inquiry. The phenomenon of smuggling is seen as particularly enlightening in terms of processes of cross-border affiliations and disengagement from the state. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
