Why did migrants from southern Portugal choose Argentina instead of
following the traditional path to Brazil? Starting with this
question, this book explores how, at the turn of the twentieth
century, rural Europeans developed distinctive circuits of
transatlantic labor migration linked to diverse immigrant
communities in the Americas. It looks at transoceanic moves in the
larger context of migration systems, examining their connections
and the crucial role of social networks in migrants' geographic
mobility and adaptation. Combining regional and local perspectives
on both sides of the Atlantic, Chains of Gold provides a vivid
account of the trajectories of migrant men and women as they moved
from rural Portugal to contrasting places of settlement in the
Argentine pampas and Patagonia.
