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.

At the same time, by maneuvering skillfully between her ethnographic data and her thought-provoking analysis of it, she succeeds to add new insights concerning the topic she set out to study. Besides offering nuanced insights for scholars dealing with topics such as migration, mobility, borders, and home, Ossman's book will also be highly useful for students in the field of anthropology and ethnology.

The latter recommendation for readers is grounded in my argument that this book can be seen to provide one of the finest examples for how one may go about analyzing data that have been collected by means of ethnographic field work, and how to present it in the form of a written ethnography.
