Over recent years, the issues of Brexit, COVID and the 'migrant
crisis' put Kent in the headlines like never before. Images of
asylum seekers on Kent beaches, lorries queued on motorways and the
crumbling white cliffs of Dover all spoke to national anxieties,
and were used to support ideas that severing ties with the EU was
the best - or worst - thing the UK has ever done. In this coastal
driftwork, Phil Hubbard - an exiled man of Kent - considers the
past, present and future of this corner of England, alighting on a
number of key sites which symbolise the changing relationship
between the UK and its continental neighbours. Moving from the
geopolitics of the Channel Tunnel to the cultivation of oysters at
Whitstable, from Derek Jarman's feted cottage at Dungeness to the
art-fuelled gentrification of Margate, Borderland bridges
geography, history, and archaeology, to pose important questions
about the way that national identities emerge from contested local
landscapes. -- .
