The 'Land Question' occupied a central place in political and cultural debates in Britain for nearly two centuries.

Covering two hundred years, this groundbreaking book brings together essays on borderlands by leading experts in the modern history of the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia to offer the first historical study of borderlands with a global reach.
