| The walls were supposed to come tumbling down, yet humanity continues to erect crude barriers out of razor wire, concrete, and stone. In this evocative blend of travel writing and politics, Marcello Di Cintio travels to the world's most disputed edges to meet with the men, women, and children who live in the shadows of walls. Whether visiting Native American reservations on the U.S.-Mexico border or the "Great Wall of Montreal," Di Cintio learns that, while such barriers habitually fail, they also succeed at something else. Some walls define Us from Them. Some walls encourage fear or feed hate. And every wall inspires its own subversion, either by the infiltrators who dare go over, under, or around them, or by the artists who transform them. With this new edition of one of the most lauded non-fiction books of 2012, Marcello Di Cintio vaults firmly into the first tier of international travel writers. |
