Reviews

'An in-depth examination of how discourse constitutes mobilities is long overdue, and this book fills that gap in mobilities scholarship in an evocative and convincing manner. It is a must-read for scholars and students seeking to understand the power of movement and circulation across space and time.' Tim Schwanen, University of Oxford, UK 'Marcel Endres, Katharina Manderscheid and Christophe Mincke's book tackles the ideological dimension of mobility - far too often overlooked - with great finesse. It is an essential contribution to current debates in the social sciences on the role and importance of mobility in social relations.' Vincent Kaufmann, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland
