Postcards from the Borderlands

In his third travel book, historian and journalist David Mould explores the complex and multifaceted concept of borders across a diverse array of countries in Asia and southern Africa. Through his journey, he examines the historical, political, and cultural significance of both physical borders and those less visible, such as ethnic or perceptual divisions. With engaging stories from his travels—ranging from encounters with border guards to exploring ancient kingdoms—Mould offers a thought-provoking look at what borders mean to the people who live near, across, and within them.
