The European Review of Books #8

European Review of Books #8

From strawberry-red passports to Schengen’s invisible lines,ERB #8 traverses the borders—real, imagined, and remembered—that shape the European psyche. Inside, explore the eerie remnants of Syria’s abandoned security state, spend a day in Minsk and a lifetime at the border, and reflect on mobility, memory, and meaning in a fractured world. This issue spotlights cocoa farmers in Côte d’Ivoire, literary farmers in Switzerland and France, and environmentalists in The Hague. At once political and poetic, Issue 8 is a sharp, multilingual lens on the borders we cross and the stories we carry.
