On Many Routes is about the history of human migration. With a
focus on the Habsburg Empire, this innovative work presents an
integrated and creative study of spatial mobilities: from short to
long term, and intranational and inter-European to transatlantic.
Migration was not just relegated to city folk, but likewise was the
reality for rural dwellers, and we gain a better understanding of
how sending and receiving states and shipping companies worked
together to regulate migration and shape populations.Bringing
historical census data, governmental statistics, and ship manifests
into conversation with centuries-old migration patterns of
servants, agricultural workers, seasonal laborers, peddlers, and
artisans-both male and female-this research argues that Central
Europeans have long been mobile, that this mobility has been driven
by diverse motivations, and that post-1850 transatlantic migration
was an obvious extension of earlier spatial mobility patterns.
Demonstrating the complexity of human mobility via an exploration
of the links between overseas, continental, and internal
migrations, On Many Routes shows that migrations to the United
States, to the nearest coalfield, and to the urban capitals are
embedded within complicated patterns of movement. There is no good
reason to study internal apart from transnational moves, and
combining these fields brings ample possibility to make migration
research more relevant for the much broader field of social and
economic history. This work poses an invaluable resource to the
understudied area of Habsburg Empire migration studies, which it
relocates within its wider European context and provides a major
methodological contribution to the history of human migration more
broadly. The ubiquity and functionality of human movement sheds
light on the relationship between human nature and society, and
challenges simplistic notions of human mobility then and now.
