内容説明

Human migrations have occurred for millennia - some slowly, some quickly, some involuntarily, some by force, and some with great loss of life. Over the centuries, improved transportation gradually eased the movement, even in the face of man-made or natural obstacles, but in modern times migration has accelerated and is now truly global. Debating the costs and benefits of human mobility on a wide and rapid scale, this book explores the historical background of the issue by focusing on recent history, during which human movements have been at their most dynamic. It provides a cross-cultural foundation for an understanding of migration and its role in the unfolding shape of world history.

内容説明

Humans have been on the move for millennia. They have done so slowly as well as quickly, sometimes involuntarily, sometimes transported by force, often relocated at great cost in lives, but they have always moved. Over the centuries, improved transportation has eased the movement, even in the face of man-made or natural obstacles. But in modern times, migration has accelerated and its reach has become truly global.Whether it is Turkish gastarbeiter in Germany, Japanese Nisei in Seattle, Filipinos in Kuwait, or Haitians in Brooklyn, the costs and benefits of human mobility on such a wide and rapid scale are hotly debated. Global History and Migrations, the second volume of the Global History Series, explores the historical background of this issue by focusing on recent history, a time when human movements have been at their most dynamic. This book provides a rich, cross-cultural foundation for a more enlightened understanding of migration and its role in the unfolding shape of global history.
