| Opplysninger | Introduction: Spaces of Solidarity -- Movements across Space: The Thai-Burma Borderlands as a Social Construct -- From Buffer Zone to Friendship Bridge: The Contemporary Context of the Thai-Burma Borderlands -- By the Shade of a Tree: Scales of Resistance, Patterns of Activism -- This Story Is Not for Myself: Paths of Connectivity/Networks of Solidarity -- 'Symbolic Anchors of Community': Processes of Cultural Recovery -- Conclusion: The Space Between.. - "Exploring notions of activism and space as narrated by Karen displaced persons and refugees in the Thai-Burma borderlands, this book looks beyond refugees as passive victims or a 'humanitarian case'. Instead, the book examines the active engagement the Karen have with their persecution and displacement and their subsequent emplacement in the borderlands. A key focus of the book is to look at this engagement in terms of spaces of solidarity - constructed through patterns of activism, paths of connectivity and processes of cultural recovery. The book also studies the spatial configuration of borderlands, examining the impact of cross-border activities and their inter-related nature"--
