{"product_id":"erika-polson-privileged-mobilities-9781433130267","title":"Privileged Mobilities","description":"As corporations ramp up «workforce globalization» and young professionals increasingly pursue opportunities to work abroad, social entrepreneurs use online digital platforms to create offline social events where foreigners can meet face-to-face. Through ethnographic study of such groups in Paris, Singapore, and Bangalore, Erika Polson illustrates how, as a new generation of expatriates uses location technologies to create mobile «places,» a new global middle class is emerging. While there are many differences in the specifics between the expat groups, they share certain characteristics that indicate a larger logic to the way that the increasing mobility of professional career paths is connected to new subjectivities and changing forms of community among a diverse and growing demographic. This book opens up a new field of study, one which pays more attention to middle class mobility while questioning the privileging of mobility more generally.","brand":"Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53908424753494,"sku":"9781433130267-G","price":2.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/erika-polson-privileged-mobilities-9781433130267","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
