Going Nowhere Fast by geographers Sabina Lawreniuk and Laurie Parsons is an important contribution to migration and development studies of Cambodia and wider Southeast Asia...This conceptualization distinguishes it from the larger literature on inequality and mobility. As such Going Nowhere Fast deserves a wide readership among scholars of Cambodia and Southeast Asia.
