The concept of 'mobility' has sparked lively academic debate in
recent years. Drawing on research from the fields of anthropology,
geography, sociology and tourism studies, this volume examines the
intersection between mobility and hospitality, highlighting the
issues that emerge as we encounter strangers in a mobile world.
Through a series of diverse empirical accounts, it focuses on the
transnational movement of people in the contexts of migration and
tourism and examines how hospitality serves as a way of promoting
and policing encounters, questioning how these relations are marked
by exclusion as well as inclusion, and by violence as well as by
kindness. In addition to exploring the power relations between
mobile populations (hosts and guests) and attitudes (hospitality
and hostility), the book also examines spaces of hospitality and
mobility, such as cities, hotels, clubs, cafes, spas, asylums,
restaurants, homes and homepages. In doing so, it makes a
significant contribution to the political and ethical dimensions of
mobile social relations.
