East Of A New Eden: European External Borders: A Documentary Account: European External Borders: A Dokumentary Account

heavily guarded kilometers between former "fraternal countries." The photographers

Yann Mingard

and Alban Kakulya spent a long time on the road; one of them traveled

down from the North and the other up from the South in an effort to document the

places and landscapes that mark the end of the Western world. On their journey, they

photographed the landscape as well as the border posts with their soldiers and their

refugees

seized at the frontier, and documented a reality defined in faraway Strasbourg,

Brussels, and elsewhere. Explanatory maps and satellite images are juxtaposed in

this book with the striking photographs. Articles by political scientists, security experts,

sociologists, human rights specialists, and philosophers, as well as literary texts round

out this photographic survey of the EU's Eastern European external borders.
