Amit (anthropology, Concordia U., Canada) assembles nine chapters that consider different hierarchies and criteria of status and privilege as travelers move from one context to another. Chapters address different types of travel, such as occupational journeys, migration, corporate-sponsored expatriacy, and life-cycle transition, and commonalities between them, like voluntary movement and resources and middle class status. Individual chapters explore migration and immigrants from Brazil and the Caribbean, expatriate professionals, extended and retirement travel, and mobile cinematographers.
