DESCRIPTION:The borderland between Sudan and Ethiopia\, unlike
  many in Sub-Saharan Africa\, is an ancient one. D
 ifferent societies\, communities and States have p
 erceived it and experienced it in different\, ofte
 n incompatible ways: as a permeable\, fluid space 
 or as a neat boundary. In this talk\, I will exami
 ne not so much the diverse conceptualizations of t
 he borderland\, as its practical materializations:
  how people actually make the borderland as a cros
 sroads\, as a border or as a frontier. I will adop
 t a non-linear\, long term perspective to make sen
 se of the last two thousand years in the area.
