520    Walls are going up. Nationalism and identity politics are 
       on the rise once more. Thousands of miles of fences and 
       barriers have been erected in the past ten years, and they
       are redefining our political landscape. There are many 
       reasons why we erect walls, because we are divided in many
       ways: wealth, race, religion, politics. In Europe the 
       ruptures of the past decade threaten not only European 
       unity, but in some countries liberal democracy itself. In 
       China, the Party's need to contain the divisions wrought 
       by capitalism will define the nation's future. In the USA 
       the rationale for the Mexican border wall taps into the 
       fear that the USA will no longer be a white majority 
       country in the course of this century. Understanding what 
       has divided us, past and present, is essential to 
       understanding much of what's going on in the world today. 
       Covering China, the USA, Israel and Palestine, the Middle 
       East, the Indian Subcontinent, Africa, Europe and the UK, 
       bestselling author Tim Marshall presents a gripping and 
       unflinching analysis of the fault lines that will shape 
       our world for years to come.
