A study of migration habits as a global phenomenon. Migration in
History explores the nature and complexity of the movement of
peoples, cultures, and ideas in historical context. This engaging
volume presents essays from a variety of scholars to expand our
understanding ofthe longstanding process and history of migration
as an established global phenomenon. The articles examine
population movements and their demographic, social, political,
legal, and cultural causes and consequences in Medieval andModern
Europe, South Asia, Israel, and China. Topics addressed include
voluntary and forced movements of people within and between regions
and nations; movement towards urban centers or dispersal into
surrounding countryside; transfers of cultural objects, practices,
and technologies; experiences of resocialization and the transfer,
reconstruction, and creation of memories, myths, values and
symbols; the role of local, national, and transnational legal
institutions; the relationship between immigration, assimilation,
religion, and acculturation; movement in the interest of ethnic
autonomy or secession, and as a response to such dangers as
deprivation, religious persecution, and the development of border
zones within which populations move and interact. Contributors:
David Abraham, Elspeth Carruthers, Hasia R. Diner, Luca Einaudi,
Joshua Fogel, Gautam Ghosh, and Carl Ipsen. Anthony T. Grafton
teaches European history at Princeton University; Marc S. Rodriguez
is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame.
An in-depth look at trends in North American internal migration.
This volume gathers established and new scholars working on North
American immigration, transmigration, internal migration, and
citizenship whose work analyzes the development of migrant and
state-level institutions as well as migrant networks. With
contemporary migration research most often focused on the
development of transnational communities and the ways international
migrants maintain relationships with their sending region that
sustain the circularflow of people, ideas, and traditions across
national boundaries it is useful to compare these to similar
patterns evident within the terrain of internal migration. To date,
however, international and internal migration studies have unfolded
in relative isolation from one another with each operating within
these distinct fields of expertise rather than across them.
Although there has been some important linking, there has not been
a recent major consideration of human migration that works across
and within the various borders of the North American continent.
Thus, the volume presents a variety of chapters that seek to
consider human migration in comparative perspective across the
internal/international divide. Marc S. Rodriguez is Assistant
Professor of History at Princeton University; Donna R. Gabbaccia is
the Mellon Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh;
James R. Grossman is theVice President of Research and Education at
the Newberry Library, Chicago. Contributors: Josef Barton, Wallace
