Description
"Nugent's study, well illustrated and documented, deserves a wide readership and will become a must for courses on migration history". - Dirk Hoerder, "International Migration Review". "A brilliant analysis of a critical chapter of migration history." - Ira Glazier, "American Historical Review". "An important book that places European immigration in its proper global context. Latin American historians will find it most useful." - Samuel L. Baily, "Hispanic American Historical Review". Tracing the migrations of a dozen national groups from Europe to Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and the United States, Nugent presents an unusually broad and detailed view of one of the major demographic shifts in human history.
