The book analyzes natural and artificial boundaries, as well as the role of national boundaries as political and social barriers. The lives of border residents are closely linked to the relationship between countries, and immigrants face challenges in language, culture, and social norms after crossing the border. Border "is both a travelogue and a documentary about the European immigration crisis, depicting the traumatic history and current situation of different ethnic groups from a diverse and international perspective.

Kasapova's' Border 'depicts the geography, history, mythology, and culture of the Balkan Peninsula border region through a four part narrative.

Culture plays an important role in border areas, influencing the identity, life, and language of residents. The book also mentions the disappearance of culture and language, such as the story of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and the disappearance of language expressions related to milk.

3、 Causes of Writing Trauma

Judith Herman proposed in "Trauma and Recovery" that when an individual is unable to resist or escape danger, a traumatic response occurs, which persists in a mutated form after the danger, affecting physiology, emotions, cognition, and memory. Traumatic memories are often suppressed, but they can be activated under specific triggers, affecting the present. Kasapova repairs personal trauma through her creations, and her life experiences are full of instability and cultural identity displacement. In "The Border," she explores how borders shape fate and cultural conflicts. As a wandering writer, she expresses trauma through words and attracts international attention. In the book, she describes her "flashback" experiences that helped her repair her trauma and reconstruct her identity. She felt the resilience and adaptability of immigrants by listening to others' stories and recalling her own immigration experience. Her works reflect complex emotions towards her homeland. Through observation and listening, she recognizes her own trauma, actively repairs it, and constructs an immigrant writer identity. The multiculturalism of New Zealand provides a free soil for her creations, and her works surpass the limitations of immigrant writing, becoming the 'Voice of New Zealand'. Her experience of dispersal laid the foundation for her career path, with travel, listening, and writing serving as pathways for her trauma repair and identity building. She spoke as a 'New Zealand writer' and saw New Zealand as a base for transformation and departure.
