“This superb book provides essays by the most impressive collection of borderland studies scholars imaginable, both established and up-and-coming authors. The historical, economic, political and societal dimensions of borders are all carefully and insightfully analyzed. Particularly insightful are the new contributions on the making of African boundaries, the contemporary political effects of borders, and issues like smuggling, trade, urbanization and migration. There is no equivalent repository of knowledge on African borderlands anywhere else. A brilliant volume, indispensable for research and for teaching.”Pierre Englebert, Professor, Pomona College, USA.“A timely and comprehensive guide to African borderlands. A must-read if you are interested in challenging orthodoxies about colonial borders and keen to leverage the ambivalence of non-statist concepts and practices. This handbook’s novel approach sets the agenda for a new era in border studies.”Heidi Hudson, Professor, University of the Free State, South Africa.“This edited volume on African borderlands brings together an impressive range of topics from a rich interdisciplinary perspective. It is an essential collection for anyone engaged in the study of African borders, whether scholars, practitioners, or policy-makers. It will serve as a key reference work on African borderlands for years to come.”Gillian Mathys, Professor, Ghent University, Belgium.“This handbook examines Africa’s borders from partition to the present, analysing their impacts on borderlands through a transdisciplinary lens. Moving beyond history and geography, it integrates socio-economic, political, and gender perspectives, foregrounding borders as living, dynamic processes while offering conceptual clarity and methodological guidance for holistic research across African borderlands”.Samuel Okunade, Doctor, Bowen University, Nigeria.
