Between 1846 and 1940, more than 50 million Europeans moved to the
Americas, irrevocably changing both their new lands and the ones
they left behind. Their immigration fostered an idea of the "land
of the free" and yet more than a third returned home again. In a
ground-breaking study, Tara Zahra explores the deeper story of this
movement of people. As villages emptied, some blamed traffickers in
human labour. Others saw opportunity: to seed colonies like the
Polish community in Argentina or to reshape their populations by
encouraging the emigration of minorities. These precedents would
shape the Holocaust, the closing of the Iron Curtain and tragedies
of ethnic cleansing while also forming notions of social
solidarity, human rights and freedom.
