Borders offer opportunities as well as restrictions, and in the
Horn of Africa they are used as economic, political, identity and
status resources by borderland peoples. State borders are more than
barriers. They structure social, economic and political spaces and
as such provide opportunities as well as obstacles for the
communities straddling both sides of the border. This book deals
with the conduits and opportunities of state borders in the Horn of
Africa, and investigates how the people living there exploit state
borders through various strategies. Using a micro level
perspective, the case studies, which includethe Horn and Eastern
Africa, particularly the borders of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia,
Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, focus on opportunities,
highlight the agency of the borderlanders, and acknowledge the
permeabilitybut consequentiality of the borders. DEREJE FEYISSA,
