The interdisciplinary and transnational character of the volume departs from single country studies and offers an invitation to discuss the region comparatively and bring mobility in dialogue with similar phenomena elsewhere. In this sense, as well as many others, it succeeds admirably. \"—\u003ci\u003eComparative Literature Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Though operating on very different scales — from those of mass movements to those of individual walkers — the essays here collected represent sustained attention to movement both as a practice and as a predicate for other practices (artistic circles, Cold War diplomacy, etc.).
