Recenzje

'This impressive book draws together the auto/biographical and the theoretical from across a range of social academic disciplines and, through its focus on gender and emotion, opens new opportunities for reflection on the nature and significance of mobilities as an emblematic characteristic of our time.' Susan Halford, University of Southampton, UK '...as an exploratory text, it provides an excellent beginning. The framework established by Letherby and Reynolds suggests innovative lines of enquiry around emotional labour, social relations of the journey, and the mechanisms by which emotion and gender are (re)constituted through practices of mobility.' Annals of Tourism Research
