This book examines the social life of mobile expatriates who live within a global circuit. Based on nomadic fieldwork in Spain and India, this study analyzes how and why these post-metropolitan subjects reject the homeland, in order to shape an alternative lifestyle. They become artists, therapists, exotic traders and bohemian workers seeking to integrate labor, mobility and spirituality within a cosmopolitan culture of expressive individualism. These countercultural formations, however, unfold under neo-liberal regimes that appropriate utopian spaces, practices and imaginaries as commodity forms for tourism, entertainment and media consumption. In order to understand the paradoxical globalization of countercultures, the book develops a dialogue between global and critical studies by means of an original conceptualization of 'neo-nomadism' which seeks to overcome some of the shortcomings in studies of globalization. As an instance of the impact of globalization upon self-identities and socialites, global nomads have been experimenting with rootlessness, strangeness and cosmopolitanism much before media and academia came to celebrate these experiences as predicaments of contemporary life.
