Bounded Mobilities: Ethnographic Perspectives On Social Hierarchies Global InequalitiesStock informationGeneral Fields
Special Fields
DescriptionMobility is a keyword of late modernity that suggests an increasingly unrestrained and interconnected world of individual opportunities. However, as privileges enable some to live in a seemingly borderless world, others remain excluded and marginalised. Boundaries are created, modified and consolidated, particularly in times of hypermobility. Evidently, mobility is closely tied to immobility. This volume features ethnographic research that challenges the concept of mobility from the perspective of social inequalities and global hierarchies.
