The stories told here are both extraordinary and increasingly common. Serial migrants rarely travel freely—they must negotiate a world of territorial borders and legal restrictions—yet as they move from one country to another, they can use border-crossings as moments of self-clarification. They often become masters of settlement as they turn each country into a life chapter. Susan Ossman follows this diverse and growing population not only to understand how paths of serial movement produce certain ways of life, but also to illuminate an ongoing tension between global fluidity and the power of nation-states. Ultimately, her lyrical reflection on migration and social diversity offers an illustration of how taking mobility as a starting point fundamentally alters our understanding of subjectivity, politics, and social life.Emigration and immigrationSocial aspectsEmigration and immigrationPsychological aspectsImmigrantsSocial life and customsCosmopolitanismElectronic books.Emigration and immigrationSocial aspects.Emigration and immigrationPsychological aspects.ImmigrantsSocial life and customs.Cosmopolitanism.304.8Ossman Susan274037MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462763603321Moving matters2476821UNINA
