Summary

This book explores the relationship of mobility to subjectivity, identity to place by exploring the lives of people on the move. Authors' draw on research among nomads, immigrants and serial migrants and question their own trajectories. Their comments on cosmopolitanism, ethnicity and religion challenge conventional wisdom from concrete but ungrounded perspectives.
