| What does it mean to live against a wall? In this bold blend of travel and reportage, Marcello Di Cintio invites us to grapple with this reality by taking us to the world's most disputed edges to meet with those who live alongside the razor wire, concrete, and steel. Di Cintio shares tea with refugees on the wrong side of Morocco's desert wall. He encounters illegal immigrants circumventing high-tech fencing around the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. He walks Arizona's migrant trails, visits fenced-in villages in India, and stands with those who protest against Israel's security barrier. Travelling from Native American reservations on the US-Mexico border to the "Great Wall of Montreal," from Cyprus's divided capital to the Peace Lines of Belfast, Di Cintio seeks to understand what these barriers reveal about their builders and how they influence the cultures they enclose. Venturing beyond politics, he encounters the infiltrators who circumvent the walls, the artists who transform them, and the fenced-in, ignored, and forgotten people who live in their shadow. |
