What is The wall the making and unmaking of the Turkish-Syrian border about?
"Aras has neatly shown how the anthropology of borders is alive, well, and still contributing to the global study of borders and frontiers... Aras's own experiences of the border, combined with long-term research there, have brought to life how the people who live, work and cross the border on a regular basis will always find ways to subvert or circumvent it. As Aras also demonstrates, the wall of the Turkish-Syrian border can never hope to contain or divide borderlands that are a thriving zone of cultural contest, negotiation and innovation." --Thomas M. Wilson, Professor of Anthropology, Binghamton University, State University of New York, USA "In today's world walls are coming down but also going up. One of the least known is the security wall which divides Kurdish community. In this book, Ramazan Aras uses political anthropology to show that the physical structures are not only a mindset, but also a tragedy. Crucial reading before the next construction project begins somewhere else in the world." --Erik Ringmar, Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Lund University, Sweden Through an anthropological analysis, this book uncovers life stories and testimonies
