Serial migrants rarely travel freely-they must negotiate a world of territorial borders and legal restrictions-yet as they move from one country to another, they can use border-crossings as moments of self-clarification. They often become masters of settlement as they turn each country into a life chapter. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSusan Ossman follows this diverse and growing population not only to understand how paths of serial movement produce certain ways of life, but also to illuminate an ongoing tension between global fluidity and the power of nation-states. Ultimately, her lyrical reflection on migration and social diversity offers an illustration of how taking mobility as a starting point fundamentally alters our understanding of subjectivity, politics, and social life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Ossman is author of \u003ci\u003ePicturing Casablanca: Portraits of Power in a Modern City\u003c\/i\u003e (1994) and \u003ci\u003eThree Faces of Beauty: Casablanca, Cairo, Paris\u003c\/i\u003e (2002).
