This is the first attempt to cover both an EU-internal border (Czech-Slovak) and an external Schengen border (Slovak-Ukrainian), offering unparalleled insight into border transformations during times of profound crisis. Drawing on extensive anthropological and oral historical research, the authors challenges traditional state-centric views by demonstrating how local border communities negotiate and utilize borders for their own benefit, needs, and aspirations. Moving beyond the concept of borders as mere lines on a map, the book delves into how geopolitical and global events – such as the Covid-19 crisis, refugee crises, dissolution of Czechoslovakia, and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine – profoundly reshape border experiences. Through vivid border narratives the book uncovers how local knowledge, collective memory, and economic ingenuity lead to varied forms of border appropriation. It compellingly argues that remembering processes are central to how citizens produce borders in everyday life, fostering local resilience and challenging peripherality. This work humanizes border analysis and offers a critical lens on bordering processes, identity formation, and alternative spatial imaginaries in today’s interconnected world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJana Nosková, PhD, is a senior researcher at the Department of Memory Studies, Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences, and head of this Department. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSandra Kreisslová, PhD, is a researcher at the Department of Memory Studies, Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences, and an assistant professor at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichal Pavlásek, PhD, is a researcher at the Department of Memory Studies, Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatarína Popelková, PhD, is a senior researcher at the Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences, and at the Institute of Ethnology and Social Anthropology, Slovak Academy of Sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNataliia Zaitseva-Chipak is a researcher at the Department of Memory Studies, Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences, and a lecturer in sociology at the Ukrainian Catholic University, Lviv.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e02 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032413949\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55556026302604,"sku":"9783032413949","price":34.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032413949","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
