“Excellent. Very timely… It makes a significant contribution to cultural psychology and to a transdisciplinary approach to the social sciences in general.” • Paul Stenner, Open University“Liminal Moves is a fascinating exploration of the entanglements between the spatial, symbolic and temporal dimension of different experiences of mobility… Drawing on anthropological theory and cultural psychology, the book advances our critical understanding of the mobility experience making it the center of a transformative process that involves those who stay as well as those who move.” • Fabiola Mancinelli, University of Barcelona
