Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the latest issue of Transfers - Interdisciplinary Journal of Mobility Studies has been published by Berghahn Journals.
This "Asia Issue" is the first of what we hope will be a long sequence dedicated to non-Western mobility topics. It contains two contributions from China and three from India and Bangladesh, all of them written by scholars "native" to those locations. As usual, we also bring you our regular review sections on museum, film and books, but we have also included an ‘Ideas in Motion’ section and a special section on rickshaws. To make this into a truly Asian issue, however, all contributions are related to Asian topics.
Please visit the Berghahn website for more information about the journal:
