Turning the attention to the temporal as well as the more familiar spatial dimensions of mobility, this volume focuses on the momentum for and temporal composition of mobility, the rate at which people enact or deploy their movements as well as the conditions under which these moves are being marshalled, represented and contested. This is an anthropological exploration of temporality as a form of action, a process of actively modulating or responding to how people are moving rather than the more usual focus in mobility studies on where they are heading.

"I rate this book very highly. It consolidates research around a topic (pace) that has been floating around in the literature for a while, but that hasn't been theorized and studied in a systematic manner yet." Jennie Germann Molz, College of the Holy Cross"This is an excellent book ... adding a much-needed intervention in the literature on mobilities in insisting on the ways in which temporal dimensions of movement work in the planning and execution of the journeys composing middling migrants' lives." Caroline Knowles, Goldsmith's, University of London
