Summary:

This book uses hauntology as a guiding framework to understand how people live amidst the afterlives and memories of conflicts. It explores how local ideas and acts of neighbourliness at the heart of borderland identity are created and maintained in a small town on the Polish-Belarussian border, a place marked by unresolved histories of ethnic and religious violence.
