Bordered Cities and Divided Societies is a provocative, moving, and
poetic encounter with the hearts and minds of individuals living in
nine cities of conflict, violence, and healing-Jerusalem, Belfast,
Johannesburg, Nicosia, Sarajevo, Mostar, Barcelona, Bilbao, and
Beirut. Based on research spanning 25 years, including 360
interviews and over two and a half years of in-country field
research, this innovative work employs a series of concise
reflective narrative essays, grouped into four thematic sections,
to provide a humanistic, "on-the-ground" understanding of divided
cities, conflict, and peacemaking. Incorporating both scholarly
analyses based on empirical research and introspective essays,
Bollens digs underneath grand narratives of conflict to illuminate
the complexities and paradoxes of living amid nationalistic
political strife and the challenges of planning and policymaking in
divided societies. Richly illustrated, the book includes
informative synopses about the cities that provide access for
general readers while extensive connections to recent literature
enhance the book's research value to scholars.
