The Rule of the Land: Walking Ireland`s Border

Shortlisted for the 2018 Edward Stanford Travel Writing Award`s Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the YearIn the wake of the EU referendum, the United Kingdom`s border with Ireland has gained greater significance: it is set to become the frontier with the European Union. To uncover its secret landscape, with a troubled past and an uncertain future, Garrett Carr travelled Ireland`s border on foot and by canoe. This invisible line has hosted smugglers and kings, runaways, peacemakers, protestors and terrorists, revealing the tumult of a border, changing the way we look at nationhood, land and power. From encounters with border dwellers to uncovering rituals, hidden pathways and ancient monuments, this book presents the borderland as a unique realm of its own, and asks what it holds for the future.
