/“This book is very enlightening, covering areas of thought and research
which are at present clearly on a lively frontier of scholarship… The
editors are well placed to take on the task of organizing and
introducing this topic – as notions of “mobility” have become
increasingly prominent in recent anthropology. Noel B. Salazar has an
overview of the field which may well be unmatched in anthropology.”/***·
Ulf Hannerz*, Stockholm University
/“The idea of exploring keywords offers a useful intervention into the
field of mobilities research, which is especially useful for teaching.
The choice of keywords is excellent, and the framing of each chapter is
very good. The contributors are up to date on the current literature and
debates of interest to the field.”/***· Mimi Sheller*, Drexel
University, USA
Scholars from various disciplines have used key concepts to grasp
mobilities, but as of yet, a working vocabulary of these has not been
fully developed. Given this context and inspired in part by Raymond
Williams’/Keywords/(1976), this edited volume presents contributions
that critically analyze mobility-related keywords: capital,
cosmopolitanism, freedom, gender, immobility, infrastructure, motility,
and regime. Each chapter provides an historical context, a critical
analysis of how the keyword has been used in relation to mobility, and a
conclusion that proposes future usage or research.
