This book is a response to the binary thinking and misuse of
history that characterize contemporary immigration debates.
Subverting the traditional injunction directed at migrants to 'go
back to where they came from', it highlights the importance of the
past to contemporary discussions around migration. It argues that
historians have a significant contribution to make in this respect
and shows how this can be done with chapters from scholars in,
Asia, Europe, Australasia and North America. Through their work on
global, transnational and national histories of migration, an
alternative view emerges - one that complicates our understanding
of 21st-century migration and reasserts movement as a central
dimension of the human condition. History, Historians and the
Immigration Debate makes the case for historians to assert
themselves more confidently as expert commentators, offering a
reflection on how we write migration history today and the forms it
might take in the future.
