Ferry Tales by Phillip Vannini
It is the first and only book in the mobilities field to examine ferry transportation, and a rare example of a mobile ethnography.
"This is a book to savor slowlyPresented as a multimedia experimental ethnography embedded with sound recordings, maps, photos, and website, Ferry Tales will transform how we share scholarship as well as how we think about mobility and moorings."—Mimi Sheller, Center for Mobilities Research and Policy, Drexel University
"This deliciously written (and titled) text is a mobile ethnography of performance, action and ritual as played out on and around the islands and coasts on Canada’s west coast. Ferry Tales will transport readers to fresh and humane reconstitutions of space, place, time, and technology."—Godfrey Baldacchino, Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada
"...in his direct and affectionate observations of how we live and move on this coast, he captures us as individuals and as a culture."—Crawford Kilian, The Tyee
"Reading Ferry Tales and experiencing the complementary material on the book’s website is a thoroughly enjoyable process. It is an imaginative and innovative work that is to be relished, not rushed." – Social & Cultural Geography
