Border crossings : moving between languages and cultural framewords - Lee, King Siong; Lee, Su Kim; Thang, Siew Ming (Petaling Jaya : Pelanduk Pub. Sdn. Bhd, 2007)
Crossing the boundaries in our mind, or 'border crossing' is a common occurence in our everyday lives. Crossings take place frequently not just across cultures but also across social groups, social class, generations and discourses. In the fast-paced, globalised world, these crossings have become even more prevalent. We are more "connected" than before and encounter borders which are not just geographical but political, social and cultural, and which increasingly challenge us to make more crossovers. This book is a collection of eight articles which document different types of border crossings.
