The worlds walls are supposed to be coming down. We speak of globalization international markets & global villages; barriers to trade keep falling & it is now possible to communicate instantly from nearly anywhere in the world. But just as these virtual walls come down real walls rise. In this evocative blend of travel writing history & politics Marcello Di Cintio visits the worlds most disputed edges to meet those who live alongside the razor wire concrete & steel. Along the way he shares tea with refugees on the wrong side of Moroccos desert wall; he encounters illegal immigrants circumventing high-tech fencing around the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta & Melilla; he walks Arizonas migrant trails visits fenced-in villages in India & stands with those who protest against Israels security barrier to understand what these structures say about those who build them & how they influence the cultures that they pen in. Venturing beyond politics he encounters the infiltrators who circumvent the walls the artists who transform them & the fenced-in ignored & forgotten people who live in their shadow. The walls discussed are: 1. The Wall of Shame in the Western Sahara built by the Morrocans in 1987 following their defeat by the Spanish. 2. A high-tech fence around the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta & Meilla. 3. The Indo Bangladesh fence erected in 1947. 4. The West Bank Wall. 5. The green line that separates the Greek from the Turkish-Cypriot quarters in Nicosia the capital of Cypress & Lefkosa the capital of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. 6.
