A fascinating ethnographic insight into the European world of camping. Leivestad makes some important anthropological reflections about home, class and imaginaries of (potential) mobility. * Noel B. Salazar, University of Leuven, Belgium * Stuck at home or on the move? This study of caravan life provides fascinating new insights into the ambiguities of mobility: an intriguing analysis of how dreams of freedom are interwoven with seemingly mundane materialities. * Orvar Loefgren, Lund University, Sweden * A magnificent book that sets a new standard for ethnographic research in contemporary Europe. In this beautifully written work, Leivestad captures how her subjects were and are experimenting with new forms of intimacy, belonging, and community. What emerge are narratives about a Europe that they and we are struggling to understand and to inhabit. * Douglas R. Holmes, State University of New York at Binghamton, USA *
