'A brilliant book. Superficially, a story of part of the Kent coast. However, under its surface, Borderland is a search for England's soul - and soullessness.'
>'A powerful, poignant and beautifully written journey through the frontier lands of Brexit Britain. This is travel writing with a purpose, charting an anxious and often hostile landscape with care and passion.'
>'Hubbard's unflinchingly questioning approach to the contested spaces he encounters is written with the ease of an armchair traveller's guide. The result is a peregrination peppered with gems of descriptive detail and astute personal reflections.'
> Over recent years, the issues of Brexit, COVID-19 and the 'migrant crisis' put Kent in the headlines like never before. Images of asylum seekers on Kent beaches, lorries queued on motorways and the crumbling white cliffs of Dover all spoke to national anxieties, and were used to support ideas that severing ties with the EU was the best - or worst - thing the UK has ever done.

In this coastal driftwork, Phil Hubbard - an exiled man of Kent - considers the past, present and future of this corner of England, alighting on a number of key sites which symbolise the changing relationship between the UK and its continental neighbours. Moving from the geopolitics of the Channel Tunnel to the cultivation of oysters at Whitstable, from Derek Jarman's feted cottage at Dungeness to the art-fuelled gentrification of Margate, Borderland bridges geography, history, and archaeology, to pose important questions about the way that national identities emerge from contested local landscapes.
