| Description: | Select Guide Rating This book explores how various types of migration that are often seen as distinct phenomena - such as marriage migration, romance tourism and sex work migration - are in fact variations of cross-border mobilities that evolve around experiences and constructions of "intimacy". 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. |
