Reviews / Votes
"Drawing on a diverse set of ethnographic case studies, Going First Classteases out the scope and implications of the relatively privileged circumstances under which middle-class transnational mobilities are being undertaken..As such, the volume provides an in-depth anthropological answer to the proponents of the 'mobility turn' in the social sciences." * Journal of Anthropological Research"The publication of this book... is timely... Interesting and accessibly written, Going First Class? offers not only ethnographically rich reflections on the subject of privileged travel, but... it provides valuable critical insights on the nature of places and the methodological issues surrounding their study." * JRAI
"...this collection of chapters deserves to be widely read and discussed - together, they demonstrate the imperative for ethnographic research in conversation, but not necessarily in cahoots, with reigning critical theories of modernity and the contemporary world." * Social Anthropology

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
