Summary
Why do empires build walls and fences? This volume meticulously examines the rise and fall of walls that are no longer around; as well as impending fate of ‘neo-liberal’ barriers that imperial and colonial powers have erected recently. Chaichian provides compelling evidence that regardless of their rationale and functions, walls always signal the fading power of an empire.
