Pacing Mobilities by Vered Amit
Turning the attention to the temporal as well as the more familiar spatial dimensions of mobility, this volume looks at the means of mobility in twenty-first century movement. Through a focus on pacing and pace, this volume looks at how people are moving rather than the more usual focus in mobility studies on where they are heading.-

The Trouble with Community
“The comprehensive discussion developed in each chapter benefits from rich ethnographic accounts and diverse theoretical frameworksThus, it provides insights into mobilities that exceed the particular scope of the volume. This volume could benefit anybody interested in studying and understanding mobilities more broadly. It draws relations between the sociocultural context within which mobility occurs, the desires and struggles of those who undertake it, and how the overall spatio-temporal mobility experience may affect those who undertake it.” • Dr Chrysi Kyratsou, Irish Journal of Anthropology
“I rate this book very highly. It consolidates research around a topic (pace) that has been floating around in the literature for a while, but that hasn’t been theorized and studied in a systematic manner yet.” • Jennie Germann Molz, College of the Holy Cross
“This is an excellent book … adding a much-needed intervention in the literature on mobilities in insisting on the ways in which temporal dimensions of movement work in the planning and execution of the journeys composing middling migrants’ lives.” • Caroline Knowles, Goldsmith’s, University of London
