Walls are being built at a dizzying pace to separate us, cocoon us,
and exclude us. The contributors to this volume illuminate the
roles and uses of walls around the world--in contexts ranging from
historic neighborhoods to contemporary national borders. They argue
that more and more walls are being built even though they are a
paradox in a neoliberal world in which people, goods, and ideas are
supposed to move freely. The walls examined in this volume do not
share a common form or type, but they do share a common political
purpose: they determine and defend racist definitions of social
belonging by controlling access and movement. The contributors
include archaeologists, anthropologists, geographers, and
sociologists. They bring different perspectives and insights to the
scale, form, and impact of this phenomenon of "walling in" and
"walling out.
