Book Review

Frontiers and Boundaries in U.S. History. Ed. by Cornelis A. van Minnen and Sylvia L. Hilton. (Amsterdam: VU University Press, 2004. 250 pp. Paper, €32.90, ISBN 90-5383-942-9.)

The editors of this collection, Cornelis A. van Minnen and Sylvia L. Hilton, introduce it by asserting that it

discusses theoretical and practical aspects of the definition and demarcation of frontiers and boundaries, their transgression, and their relationship with identities and the exercise of power. (p. 1)

Such an intimidating statement of purpose, as admirable in ambition as it is generic in character, is their valiant effort to bring coherence to a disparate group of papers originally presented at the Roosevelt Study Center's sixth Middelburg Conference of European Historians of the United States, held in Middelburg, the Netherlands, in April 2003.
