The demographic shockwaves of the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries in Europe produced tremendous change in the national
economies and affected the political, social, and cultural
development of these societies. Migration historians have begun to
connect the various European migratory streams during this period
with transcontinental migration to North America. This volume
contains empirical studies on German in-migration, internal
migration, and transatlantic emigration from the 1820s to the
1930s, placed in a comparative perspective of Polish, Swedish, and
Irish migration to North America. Special emphasis is placed on the
role of women in the process of migration. By looking specifically
at postwar Germany, Klaus J. Bade underscores the relevance of this
history in a concluding essay.
The demographic shockwaves of the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries in Europe produced tremendous change in the national
economies and affected the political, social, and cultural
development of these societies. Within the past two decades,
migration historians began to connect the various European
migratory streams during this period with transcontinental
migration to North America. This volume contains empirical studies
on German in-migration, internal migration, and transatlantic
emigration from the 1820s to the 1930s, placed in a comparative
