Synopsis
State borders are more than barriers. They structure social, economic and political spaces and as such provide opportunities as well as obstacles for the communities straddling both sides of the border. This book deals with the conduits and opportunities of state borders in the Horn of Africa, and investigates how the people living there exploit state borders through various strategies. Using a micro level perspective, the case studies, which include the Horn and Eastern Africa, particularly the borders of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, focus on opportunities, highlight the agency of the borderlanders, and acknowledge the permeability but consequentiality of the borders.

Review
The book bears the stamp of unmistakable originality in the nine constituent substantive essays on the various strategies by which borderland communities...explore and exploit the border in their diverse contexts and situations not just to survive but even to flourish economically, socially, culturally and politically. AFRICA REVIEW OF BOOKS
A rich and focused volume [which] opens up a crucial debate that nobody interested in African political and social issues can ignore. JOURNAL OF MODERN AFRICAN STUDIES
This insightful new book looks at borders and borderlands from a quite different perspective. In a series of fascinating case-studies, it provides insights into the experience of people living in the borderlands of Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti and Sudan. [...] For those seeking to engage with the politics of the Horn of Africa, it is essential to grasp the extraordinary complexity of identity and identity choices. This collection of case-studies, creatively combining the insights of social anthropologists, political scientists and historians, makes a real contribution to such an understanding.
