SUMMARY:Maine Writers Series: Mimi Shelter
DESCRIPTION:\n\nMobility justice is one of the crucial political and ethica
 l issues of our day.  In Mobility Justice\, Mimi Sheller makes a passiona
 te argument for a new understanding of the contemporary crisis of movement
 .\n\n\n\n\nSheller shows how power and inequality inform the governance an
 d control of movement. She connects the body\, street\, city\, nation\, an
 d planet in one overarching theory of the modern\, perpetually shifting wo
 rld. Concepts of mobility are examined on a local level in the circulation
  of people\, resources\, and information\, as well as on an urban scale\, 
 with questions of public transport and “the right to the city.” On the
  planetary level\, she demands that we rethink the reality where tourists 
 and other elites are able to roam freely\, while migrants and those most i
 n need are abandoned and imprisoned at the borders. (Verso Books)\n\nMimi 
 Sheller is Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center for Mobilitie
 s Research and Policy at Drexel University. She is the author of Democracy
  after Slavery\, Consuming the Caribbean\, Citizenship from Below\, and Al
 uminum Dreams.\n\n\nCo-sponsored with Compass Rose Books. Made possible th
 anks to generous support from the Rose and Samuel Rudman Library Trust/MCF
  and Witherle Friends of the Library.\n\nThe Reading Room
