The contributors to this book were asked a simple question: what does the Irish border mean to you? More than 50 well-known people from Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the UK gave the question serious thought and then had the courage to share their conclusions with the public. The result is a collection of highly personal, thoughtful, amusing, and often provocative views of one of the most contentious political boundaries of the 20th century.This text asks, what is the Irish Border? The contributors come from different professions, different parts of Ireland and different religions, but all have had some connection with the Border. Their perspectives range from the nostalgic to the political, from the despairing to the aspirational.
