Reviews
'The Politics of Proximity is a very fine contribution to the mobilities literature. In particular by inserting the analysis of mobilities into the context of proximity, politics, immobility, and practice the book makes important contributions. The volume consist of novel and insightful explorations wedded to issues of relational geographies, performed proximities, and socio-technically mediated relationships. As such the book is on the cutting edge of the contemporary mobilities research agenda.' Ole B. Jensen, Aalborg University, Denmark 'This is a totally necessary book, at just the right time! Exciting, illuminating and intellectually provoking it provides new insights at the cutting edge of mobilities research. What we learn here is a basic feature of the mobile risk society - the blurring of boundaries between mobility, space and technology, movement and the embodied politics of individuals to transgress and connect themselves across time and space. This is a rich contribution to the sociology of time-space compression and it makes visible how the new mobility regimes transform everyday life and the proximities of people.' Sven Kesselring, TU Munich, Germany 'The politics of proximity is impressive as editorial work, and will interest those working with the concept of mobility more broadly.' Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale 'The Politics of Proximity, edited by Giuseppina Pellegrino, is one of the most salient contributions to the field of mobility studies and to sociology in general published in the last few years.' Tecnoscienza '... a book for sociologists whose interests are in space, geographical features of people, services, facilities and infrastructures and their linkage with 'moving' or 'capacity to move'. In general, any professional and academic in the urban and transport planning field would benefit from the insightful debate in The Politics of Proximity: Mobility and Immobility in Practice.'

Australian Planner 'The case studies open the reader to the life world of mobility, ranging from daily mobility, through migrant and manager mobility to war-related mobility. In addition to the rich theories and case studies, the authors have a good blend of both quantitative and qualitative methods.' Journal of Transport Geography '... the book is very much worth reading and will especially appeal to mobility scholars and those interested in new technologies of mobility and cities.' Journal of Urban Technology
