She is the author of Democracy after Slavery , Consuming the Caribbean , Citizenship from Below , and Aluminum Dreams ..
About the Author Mimi Sheller is Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center for Mobilities Research and Policy at Drexel University.
It is a call for a new understanding of the Politics of Movement and a demand for justice for all.
Mobility Justice is a new way to understand the deep flows of inequality and uneven accessibility in a world in which the Mobility commons have been enclosed.
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 in need are abandoned and imprisoned at the borders.
She connects the body, street, city, nation, and planet in one overarching theory of the modern, perpetually shifting world.
Sheller shows how power and inequality inform the governance and control of movement.
In Mobility Justice , Mimi Sheller makes a passionate argument for a new understanding of the contemporary crisis of movement.
