Assessing the different kinds of borders between African nations,
the contributors present a borderland and trans-region approach to
understanding the challenges and opportunities facing the peoples
of the African continent. Africa faces rampant violence, terrorism,
deterioration of water-energy-food provision, influxes of refugees
and immigrants, and religious hatred under the trends of
globalization. Solutions for these issues require new perspectives
that are not attempted by conventional state-building approaches.
Statehood is limited in many places on the African continent
because many states are combined by loose political ties. African
states' borders tend to be regarded as porous and fragile. However,
as the contributors to this volume argue, those porous borders can
contribute to cultural and socio-economic network construction
beyond states and the creation of active borderlands by increasing
people's mobility, contact, and trade. A must read for scholars of
African studies that will also be of great value to academics and
students with a broader interest in nationhood, globalization, and
borders.
