This engaging book allows readers to grapple with the far reaching consequences of geography and transnationalism through the lens of autobiography. Complex geographical and biographical concepts are brought to life through compelling personal narrative. This text is an excellent introduction to social geography as a field and autoethnography as a method.

May Friedman, Ryerson University

In this insightful and entertaining book, geographers from Brazil, China, Nigeria, Germany, Canada, Cyprus and Poland reflect on their own transnational lives in candid and thoughtful narratives. These are stories of spatial and social mobility told by a generation of scholars whose work emerged at the same time that transnationalism became a prominent research area. How life and scholarship mingle and mutually influence each other is the subject of the autobiogeographies they tell here. A must-read for every geographer and for everybody who wants to know what geographers do.

Silvia Schultermandl, University of Graz

This descriptively rich and theoretically informed collection of autobiographies of transnational geographers is highly engaging. Their personal transnational experiences speak to both structure and agency at the global, national, and local geographical scales.
