Reviews

“This handbook offers a precious landmark for the anthropological study of mobility. It proposes for the first time an integrative account of definitional, structural and empirical issues, studied all around the world, and captured by the concept of mobility as it has recently developed in the social sciences.” • Tania Zittoun, Institute of psychology and education, FLSH

“It provides an impressive, comprehensive overview, both in depth and width, on mobility and immobility from an anthropological perspective.” • Brigitte Suter, Malmö University

Description

Things are constantly moving; animals, plants, objects, capital, businesses, services, diseases, media, images, information and ideas have mobilities that are dynamic and complex. The Anthropological Handbook of Mobility takes stock of the dispersed body of anthropological work on mobilities, as both an object of study and an analytical lens. From an anthropological point of view, this guide provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to mobility studies for students, scholars, and anyone else wanting to know more about the implications of mobility.
