‘In Boundaries and Restricted Places, Balkiz Yapicioglu and Konstantinos Lalenis present a sometimes disquieting, sometimes inspiring collection of case studies on immured spaces. From the Old Jewish cemetery in Wrocław, gated communities in Brazil, or the forbidden part of Piraeus, the journey continues to borders in Ireland or Beirut, Nicosia or Indian slums. Scholars of border studies, geography, or spatial planning and architecture will cherish this rich contribution to a better understanding of enclosure and exclusion.’
