Rezensionen

This book is a fresh whirlwind, a highly commendable contribution to understanding mobility practices among the post-migration generation in Europe, regularly engaging in visits to Morocco. Theoretically, the research skilfully moves above and beyond what we traditionally call tourist, migration or diaspora studies. Moreover, it surprises the reader with the breadth and depth of methodological excellence, combining mobile ethnography with visual materials and conversational analysis. As a result, words become alive and rise from the flatness of the written text. This book will demand a lot from a reader, but its freshness, methodological innovativeness and true interdisciplinarity will reward you generously.
