A staple of postwar academic writing, "nationalism" is a
contentious and often unanalyzed abstraction. It is generally
treated as something "imagined," "fashioned," and "disseminated,"
as an idea located in the mind, in printed matter, on maps, in
symbols such as flags and anthems, and in collective memory.
"Between Frontiers" restores the nation to the social field from
which it has been abstracted by looking at how the concept shapes
the existence of people in border zones, where they live between
nations.
Noboru Ishikawa grounds his discussion of border zones in
materials gathered during two years of archival research and
fieldwork relating to the boundary that separates Malaysian from
Indonesian territory in western Borneo. His book considers how the
state maintains its national space and how people strategically
situate themselves by their community, nation, and ethnic group
designated as national territory. Examining these issues in the
context of concrete circumstances, where a village boundary
coincides with a national border, allows him to delineate the
dialectical relationship between nation-state and borderland
society both as history and as process. Scholars across the
humanities and social sciences will learn from this masterful
linking of history and ethnography, and of macro and micro
perspectives.
