Most of studies "are neglecting the work that is done to sustain it [border control] and the people who do this work every day." By focusing on the Canadian border officers at the border with the US, Côté-Boucher's book brings a new perspective on contemporary border and security practices in general. (6) In her book, "Border Frictions", Karine Côté-Boucher studies the everyday practices of border agents, and how they started to consider themselves as "police officers" instead of "border officers.".
