"This compact but information-rich volume succeeds admirably in accomplishing its editor's goal of filling a gaping hole in the scholarship about the complicated history of the Danish-German border region. [...] The volume is tightly organized and intellectually coherent, while the articles are uniformly well-written and accessible to a broad audience, making them well-suited to classroom use and offering a solid foundation for future research into other, more humanistic and sociological inquiries into the repercussions of political division and cultural hybridity as residents of the border region have experienced and expressed them."
