This interdisciplinary volume maintains the importance of a spatial
understanding of society and history, but suggests a way of
conceiving of borders and space that goes beyond a school map of
states. Its subject is the struggle among differing spatial logics,
or mental maps. It is concerned with the meaning that state borders
hold for people, but recognizes that such meaning varies and is
contested by other social formations. To what degree do state
borders encase the mechanisms that make the decisive rules
governing people's lives and to what extent do they give way to
other rulemakers? To what extent do states circumscribe the
communities to which people feel attached and to what extent do
they intersect with other communities of belonging? These essays
home in on the struggles and conflicting demands on people, given
that state borders are not automatically pre-eminent and that other
spatial logics demand attention.
