Research into mobility is an exciting challenge for the social
sciences that raises novel social, cultural, spatial and ethical
questions. At the heart of these empirical and theoretical
complexities lies the question of methodology: how can we best
capture and understand a planet in flux? Methodologies of Mobility
speaks beyond disciplinary boundaries to the methodological
challenges and possibilities of engaging with a world on the move.
With scholars continuing to face different forms and scales of
mobility, this volume strategically traces innovative ways of
designing, applying and reflecting on both established and
cutting-edge methodologies of mobility.
Arab Masculinities provides a groundbreaking analysis of Arab men's
lives in the precarious aftermath of the 2011 Arab uprisings. It
challenges received wisdoms and entrenched stereotypes about Arab
men, offering new understandings of rujula, or masculinity, across
the Middle East and North Africa. The 10 individual chapters of the
book foreground the voices and stories of Arab men as they face
economic precarity, forced displacement, and new challenges to
marriage and family life. Rich in ethnographic details, they
illuminate how men develop alternative strategies of affective
labor, how they attempt to care for themselves and their families
within their local moral worlds, and what it means to be a good
son, husband, father, and community member. Arab Masculinities
sheds light on the most private spaces of Arab men's lives-offering
stories that rarely enter the public realm. It is a pioneering
volume that reflects the urgent need for new anthropological
scholarship on men and masculinities in a changing Middle East.

What does migration look like from the inside out? In The Outside,
Alice Elliot decenters conventional approaches to migration by
focusing on places of departure rather than arrival and rethinks
migration from the perspective of those who have not (yet) left.
Through an intimate ethnography of towns and villages notorious in
Morocco for their striking emigration to "the outside," Elliot
traces the powerful ways migration permeates life: as brutal
bureaucratic machinery administering hope and despair, as intimate
force crisscrossing kinship relations and bonds of love and care,
as imaginative horizon of the self and of the future. Challenging
dominant understandings of migration and their deadly consequences
by centering non-migrants' sharp theorizations and intimate
experiences of "the outside," Elliot recasts migration as a deeply
relational entity, and attends to the ethnographic, conceptual, and
political imagination required by the constitutive relationship
between migration and life.
