This book explores how borders are used as mechanisms of power in contemporary political discourse, using examples from the Trump and Biden presidencies to examine how they are used to invoke different notions of national identity. It adopts a discourse-historical approach to analyze how borders are used to recontextualize historical discourses of national identity and promote the idea of "the nation."

This groundbreaking book delves into a novel and critical examination of borders in contemporary political discourse, utilizing examples from the Trump presidency and the early stages of the Biden presidency to explore how borders are employed as powerful tools to evoke diverse notions of national identity.
The volume takes a discursive approach to borders, considering them as constructs that shape and reflect national identity across various forms of modern political discourse. By employing a framework informed by Ruth Wodak's Discourse-Historical Approach, Demata examines how analyzing discourse from the Trump and Biden presidencies can reveal unique insights into how politicians and other stakeholders utilize borders to reinterpret historical discourses of national identity and employ discursive strategies of inclusion and exclusion in promoting the concept of "the nation."
In adopting an approach that contextualizes these discourses within their historical and socio-cultural contexts, the volume aims to bridge the gap between different disciplines and provide a comprehensive understanding of notions of borders and national identity in contemporary political language.
This book will be of immense interest to students and scholars engaged in discourse analysis, language and power, language and politics, political science, and border studies. It offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of borders and their role in shaping political narratives and identities.
