摘　　要：This essay examines Raymond Williams's autobiographical novel Border Country,the first novel of his ambitious"Welsh Trilogy."The aim of the essay is twofold.Firstly,it analyzes the unsettling issue of how a bio-regional place(native place)shapes polyvalent identities in a historically changing environment and how the boundary that crisscrosses the passages of life is redrawn through narrative re-circumscription and optical revision.Secondly,the essay calls this trope of internalizing"border-crossing"into question in the context of global diaspora and critically problematizes Williams's identity politics as schizophrenic split from British post-colonial empire.
