In Expectations Unfulfilled: Norwegian Migrants in Latin America,
1820-1940 scholars from Europe and Latin America study the
experiences of workers, sailors, whalers, landowners, intellectuals
and investors who migrated from Norway to Latin America during the
age of mass migration. One recurrent theme is the absence of a
large migratory stream from Norway to Latin America. In relative
terms, Norwegian emigration was among the highest in Europe. Latin
America was one of the principal receivers of migrants in the 19th
and early 20th centuries. Why, then, did so few Norwegians end up
in Latin America? Combining different levels of analysis, the
authors explain how Norwegians experienced Latin America, and how
their experiences were communicated to potential migrants at home.
