Book Review: Visible Mending: Everyday Repairs in the South West

memories related to the dreadful experiences during this period are likely to remain and characterize everyday lives long into the future. The book is somewhat divided in the sense that the first section focuses on more theoretical interpretations of borders, while the historical and empirical sections go largely on their own track. It is a pity that the theoretical perspectives are rarely set into a dialogue with the empirical part. To conclude, Nash, Reid and Graham have written a stimulating and detailed book and have been able to pack their message in a short space (157 pages). It is refreshing to see a volume on a borderland that takes history seriously and at the same time gives voice to borderland people. Contrary to many contemporary texts on borders this book is also very much jargon-free.
