As globalization and transnational encounters intensify, people's
mobility is increasingly conditioned by intimacy, ranging from
love, desire, and sexual liaisons to broader family, kinship, and
conjugal matters. This book explores the entanglement of mobility
and intimacy in various configurations throughout the world. It
argues that rather than being distinct and unrelated phenomena,
intimacy-related mobilities constitute variations of cross-border
movements shaped by and deeply entwined with issues of gender,
kinship, race, and sexuality, as well as local and global powers
and border restrictions in a disparate world.
