People travel as never before. However, anthropological research
has tended to focus primarily on either labor migration or on
tourism. In contrast, this collection of essays explores a
diversity of circumstances and impetuses towards contemporary
mobility. It ranges from expatriates to peripatetic professionals
to middle class migrants in search of extended educational and
career opportunities to people seeking self development through
travel, either by moving after retirement or visiting educational
retreats. These situations, however, converge in the significant
resources, variously of finances, time, credentials or skills,
which these voyagers are able to call on in embarking on their
respective journeys. Accordingly, this volume seeks to tease out
the scope and implications of the relatively privileged
circumstances under which these voyages are being undertaken.
