This short review looks at the implications of the title of The Age of Migration. It argues that most ages, not specifically our own time, could be defined as 'ages of migration'. It argues that the specific characteristics of our particular age are those of internal more than international migrations and a dramatic rise in a series of forms of non-permanent population movements that can better be captured under the term 'mobility'. In terms of longer-term forms of migration, it is also deceptive to assume that they will necessarily continue to increase. The piece focuses on forms of internal migration and on mobility
