Description
Key Selling Points An in-depth look at walls around the world throughout human history, up to the present day and into the future. From the US-Mexico border wall to the Israeli West Bank barrier and the Hungarian border wall, controversial and divisive walls are being built around the world today. This book will challenge young readers to think critically about why humans have built walls throughout history, who is affected, and the positive and negative consequences of building walls, for people and places. Deals with themes of war and peace (ancient and modern), the climate crisis, human migration, racism, nationalism, protectionism, ecosystems and food insecurity. The author is an award-winning journalist with CBC Radio in Victoria, British Columbia, and the author of books for both children and adults.
