Crossings: A Journey Through Borders

by Nicholas Murray

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.

Reviews

[Steve Chilton · Rating 2 out of 5]

Picked up on impulse this was a disappointment. Murray rambles through different kinds of borders, literal and metaphorical, but doesn't manage to hold the book together. I quite liked some of the more offbeat stuff, like liminal spaces, but the refugee crisis motif kept coming up and was overplayed really.
