Review Quotes:
"This handbook offers a precious landmark for the anthropological study of mobility. It proposes for the first time an integrative account of definitional, structural and empirical issues, studied all around the world, and captured by the concept of mobility as it has recently developed in the social sciences." - Tania Zittoun, Institute of psychology and education, FLSH
"It provides an impressive, comprehensive overview, both in depth and width, on mobility and immobility from an anthropological perspective." - Brigitte Suter, Malmö University
