Invisible Countries: Journeys to the Edge of Nationhood by Joshua Keating is a fascinating exploration of the places around the globe which could be nations, and under some definitions are, but still are located at the margins of the nation-states. Keating’s point is that we are currently in a period of time where the international community seeks to maintain the status quo, even if the boundaries of many countries fail to make ethnic or religious sense. The author explores the reasons for this, in this well researched, entertaining and fascinating book.
