Opis

Examining the inequalities imposed on borderland inhabitants by the de facto ‘one-way’ cross-border bridge between French Guiana and northern Brazil, and the ways in which they deal with them, this book shows how the region’s European-American borderland illuminates entangled histories and their concomitant inequalities on a large scale.

Recenzje

'By tracing particular, personal stories of social actors in the area and their different trajectories, Santos demonstrates the larger entanglements that specific histories can uncover about complex social and political dynamics across borders … not only useful for those working in geographical vicinities, but also to other authors dealing with the complex dynamics of social actors in borderland studies in similar contexts elsewhere.' - Karlijn Korpershoek, Ethnos
