borderlands  

Definition

  • Borderlands may be seen both as a concept and as a geographic entity. At the most obvious level, borderlands are geographic areas adjacent to political boundaries between nation-states, but the term is used also to distinguish ethnic enclaves within the borders of a nation-state. [Source: Encyclopedia of Race, Ethnicity, and Society; Borderlands]
