The essays examine how Vietnamese traders and officials engage in on-the-ground contestations to define space, promote or limit mobility, and establish borders, both physical and conceptual. The contributors show how trading experiences shape individuals' notions of self and personhood, not just as economic actors, but also in terms of gender, region, and ethnicity. Traders in Motion affords rich comparative insight into how markets form and transform and what those changes mean.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors:\u003cbr\u003e Lisa Barthelmes, Christine Bonnin, Gracia Clark, Annuska Derks, Kirsten W.
