Roads and the powerful sense of mobility that they promise carry us
back and forth between the sweeping narratives of globalisation,
and the specific, tangible materialities of particular times and
places. Indeed, despite the fact that roads might, by comparison
with the sparkling agility of virtual technologies, appear to be
grounded in twentieth century industrial political economy they
could arguably be taken as the paradigmatic material infrastructure
of the twenty-first century, supporting both the information
society (in the ever increasing circulation of commoditized goods
and labour), and the extractive economies of developing countries
on which the production and reproduction of such goods and labour
depends. Roads and Anthropology is the first collection of road
ethnographies, edited by two pioneers in the anthropological
explorations of infrastructures, the essays published in the book
aim to pave the way for this rising field of anthropological
research. This book was published as a special issue of Mobilities.
