As corporations ramp up "workforce globalization" and young
professionals increasingly pursue opportunities to work abroad,
social entrepreneurs use online digital platforms to create offline
social events where foreigners can meet face-to-face. Through
ethnographic study of such groups in Paris, Singapore, and
Bangalore, Erika Polson illustrates how, as a new generation of
expatriates uses location technologies to create mobile "places," a
new global middle class is emerging. While there are many
differences in the specifics between the expat groups, they share
certain characteristics that indicate a larger logic to the way
that the increasing mobility of professional career paths is
connected to new subjectivities and changing forms of community
among a diverse and growing demographic. This book opens up a new
field of study, one which pays more attention to middle class
mobility while questioning the privileging of mobility more
generally.
