Opis

This book explores the many varied ways in which family and intimate lives are realized through mobility: from leaving home, courtship, relationship breakdown, moving house, commuting, family holidays through to children's mobilities, documenting how mobility creates, sustains and dissolves family and intimate relations.

Recenzje

"This book opens up space where a number of empirical cases can be thought of, reconceptualised and then inform new research directions ... a must read book for those working in this field and seeking to holistically reframe family mobilities" - Sociological Review
