'An energetic and exciting volume, Translocal Geographies uses diverse empirical examples from around the world to illustrate a groundbreaking concept, and in so doing sheds new light on the experience of mobility in the 21st century. Rarely has Geography seemed so relevant.' Khalid Koser, Geneva Centre for Security Policy, Switzerland 'Deploying and developing the concept of translocal this book advances transnational migration studies by situating migrants within specific places and times. This is a much needed multi-scalar corrective for the tendency of scholars to conflate locality of origin and settlement with national identities in mapping a geography of transnational connection.' Nina Glick Schiller, University of Manchester, UK 'This book provides an exciting insight in to the personal, emotional and corporeal geographies that are active agents of change in translocal relations... The book concludes in a very thought-provoking manner, highlighting numerous issues to be explored further, linked to geographies of power, class, agency and affect.' Social and Cultural Geography 'This book is a rich and varied collection of case studies that broaden the concept of translocality, and use a range of methodologies... I truly recommend this book to everyone who is interested in movement, migration, locales and the relationship between them, as they appear in different parts of the world, in different scales and in different forms.'
