Transnational lives : biographies of global modernity, 1700-present - Deacon, Desley; Russell, Penny; Woollacott, Angela, 1955- (Basingstoke, Hampshire, Eng. : Palgrave Macmillan, 2010)
"The transnationalism of ordinary lives threatens the stability of national identity and unsettles the framework of national histories and biography. This book takes mobility, not nation, as its frame, and captures a rich array of lives, from the elite to the subaltern, that have crossed national, racial, and cartographic boundaries"
