On the Move: Mobility and Identity will not be a strictly academic collection, nor will it be addressed to students only. It is designed to include travel narratives, art, creative and critical writing on the subject of mobility, migrations and travel, immigration, borders and barriers of communication; the net, the street and the community; diasporas, and cross-cultural encounters. So far, we have works and commitments from the US, UK, Canada, Eastern and Western Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and Australia.
