'Through a series of excellent essays this volume uses concrete
ethnographic analyses of memory practices in different parts of the
globe to offer theoretical reflections on how memory shapes and is
shaped by mobility in time and space.' - Marianne Hirsch, Columbia
University, USA 'Memories on the Move is a brilliant edited volume
that fills an important gap in the field of memory studies as it
weaves together issues of mobility and remembering. Drawing on
fine-grained ethnographical cases, it offers a rich and complex
portrait of mnemonic constructions in the context of forced
migration, exile and transnationalism. It is clearly a must-read
for anthropologists, sociologists, historians and political
scientists as well as for all scholars interested in the
contemporary dynamics of memory, identity and mobility.' - David
Berliner, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium 'This
thought-provoking volume disentangles, ethnographically, the
complexity of meaning-making practices of memory/forgetting in
various contexts of (im)mobility.' - Noel B. Salazar, University of
Leuven, Belgium Bringing together vivid ethnographic material, this
book opens up a timely conversation between memory and
mobility/migration studies. It goes beyond the idea of the nation
state as the primary unit of analysis to explore how people on the
move use different forms and media of remembering to make sense of
their lives and act as political subjects. Investigating when and
by what means people on the move remember and communicate memories
in the context of various forms of (im)mobility, the authors
examine photographs, films, the reinhabiting of pre-exilic homes,
pseudo-historical performances, transgenerational mnemonic
gatherings and transnational political activism. This edited
collection will appeal to scholars of anthropology, sociology,
political science, human geography, history and oral history.

Claims around 'who deserves what and why' moralise inequality in
the current global context of unprecedented wealth and its ever
more selective distribution. Ethnographies of Deservingness
explores this seeming paradox and the role of moralized assessments
of distribution by reconnecting disparate discussions in the
anthropology of migration, economic anthropology and political
anthropology. This edited collection provides a novel and
systematic conceptualization of Deservingness and shows how it can
serve as a prime and integrative conceptual prism to
ethnographically explore transforming welfare states, regimes of
migration, as well as capitalist social reproduction and relations
at large.
