“This volume breaks from the usual. Winters, Drotbohm, and Guevara González have assembled an excellent collection of cutting-edge contributions that cast new light on the meanings of place and place-making. With rich insights, the collection reveals how people on the move transform the “out-of-the-way places” they traverse in their journeys, even if when they stay only temporarily. The book offers much-needed clarity and insight into the multiple dimensions of (im)mobility that is sure to inspire future research. Highly recommended!” • Cecilia Menjívar, University of California, Los Angeles
