How is the meaning of the hyphen in "nation-state" changing in the context of globalization and proliferating political struggles? How can we investigate the transformation of the nation-state by marking the normally unmarked hyphen in "geo-graphy"? Debunking deterritorialization both as a discourse and as anantiessentialist abstraction, Matthew Sparke offers answers to these questions by examining the contemporary geographies of the United States and Canada.
