""Through the astute analysis of key documentaries shot in various European border zones over the past twenty years, Border Mediascapes offers a compelling reflection on the often-hidden workings of contemporary borders. In the process, it provides an original contribution to scholarly discussions of global migrations and the technologies of border management while also acknowledging the potent legacies of colonialism.""--Áine O'Healy, author of Migrant Anxieties: Italian Cinema in a Transnational Frame ""This is a strong book that explores the idea of border mediascapes--a useful and insightful term.
