In this third edition of Migration in World History, Patrick
Manning presents an expanded and newly coherent view of migratory
processes, conveying new research and interpretation. The engaging
narrative shows the continuity of migratory processes from the time
of foragers who settled the earth to farmers opening new fields and
merchants linking purchasers everywhere. In the last thousand
years, accumulation of wealth brought capitalism, industry, and the
travels of free and slave migrants. In a contest of civilizational
hierarchy and movements of emancipation, nations arose to replace
empires, although conflicts within nations expelled refugees. The
future of migration is now a serious concern. The new edition
includes: An introduction to the migration theories that explain
the shifting patterns of migration in early and recent times
Quantification of changes in migration, including international
migration, domestic urbanization, and growing refugee movements A
new chapter tracing twenty-first-century migration and population
from 2000 to 2050, showing how migrants escaping climate change
will steadily outnumber refugees from other social conflicts While
migration is often stressful, it contributes to diversity,
exchanges, new perspectives, and innovations. This comprehensive
and up-to-date view of migration will stimulate readers with
interests in many fields.
