Abstract
- With respect to transport and mobilities literatures this paper (1) offers from historical geography, the suggestion that mobilities insights are not restricted to the present or future, (2) illustrates this through a microscale analysis of road maintenance and (3) and, most importantly, focusses on the upkeep of the road network whereas most of the existing work is on the creation and extension of roads as part of state building projects. Road maintenance it is concluded is itself a highly mobile activity and it is also contended that the road itself is a mobile and not a stable platform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
