The Cambridge History of Global Migrations
Volume II presents an authoritative overview of the various continuities and changes in migration and globalization from the 1800s to the present day. Despite revolutionary changes in communication technologies, the growing accessibility of long-distance travel, and globalization across major economies, the rise of nation-states empowered immigration regulation and bureaucratic capacities for enforcement that curtailed migration. One major theme …
L'ordre des circulations? L'Institut de Droit international et la régulation des migrations (1870-1920)
Historical perspectives on migration
While regional studies as a field emerged in the late twentieth century, geographically defined regions and the human conceptualization of regions itself – in contrast to bordered polities and circumscribed areas – have been part of human life from the proverbial time immemorial. People living in 1500 bce had knowledge about region-specific luxury products from far away, with ornamental shells from the Indian Ocean reaching as far as the Alps for…
Migration and Cultural Contact in the Emergence of Rus’-land, Sixth to Nineteenth Centuries
Migrations in the intercontinental macro-region have been studied as proto-Slavic early settlement; as transit zone for Varangian-Arab trade and Byzantine-Kiev interactions; as space of Mongolian intrusion and as a territorially integrated Muscovite state with rural populations immobilised as serfs. This article integrates migrations from and to the neighbouring Scandinavian, East Roman, and Steppe macro-regions up to the fifteenth century and, m…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Migrations in Slavic, Tsarist Russian and Soviet History
Migration in Rus’-land, Tsarist Russia and Soviet history received little attention before 1986. Since the 2000s interest has intensified. This issue of the Journal of Migration History provides a synopsis of the continuity as well as multiplicity of migrations from the sixth to the nineteenth century and case studies of different migrations from the late nineteenth century to the 1990s. Migration of state-backed Slavic-speaking peasants in the l…

Europa Im Geflecht der Welt
The Cambridge World History
Since 1750, the world has become ever more connected, with processes of production and destruction no longer limited by land- or water-based modes of transport and communication. Volume 7 of The Cambridge World History, divided into two books, offers a variety of angles of vision on the increasingly interconnected history of humankind. The second book questions the extent to which the transformations of the modern world have been shared, focussin…
Towards a Global History of Domestic and Caregiving Workers
Domestic and caregiving work has been at the core of human existence throughout history. Poorly paid or even unpaid, this work has been assigned to women in most societes and occasionally to men often as enslaved, indentures, "adopted" workers. While some use domestic service as training for their own future independent households, others are confined to it for life and try to avoid damage to their identities (Part One). Employment conditions are…
The Cambridge World History
The era from 1400 to 1800 saw intense biological, commercial, and cultural exchanges, and the creation of global connections on an unprecedented scale. Divided into two books, Volume 6 of The Cambridge World History considers these critical transformations. The first book examines the material and political foundations of the era, including global considerations of the environment, disease, technology, and cities, along with regional studies of e…
Migration History as a Transcultural History of Societies
As ‘ethnic’ history — the nation-to-ethnic-ghetto version of migrant strategies — came to include the process of migration and the socialization, the ‘roots’ of the field were still traced to the Chicago School and Oscar Handlin. European scholarship in the initial stages centred on emigration to North America and followed us approaches. I discuss, to the 1950s, European and Canadian epistemologies of the field and briefly refer to research in ot…
A Genuine Respect for the People’
I, first, discuss the ethical and scholarly bases of approaches ‘emancipated’ from mainstream societal discourses. Next, I reinsert into the genealogy of us migration history’s development several ‘early’ research clusters or schools from the 1880s with a focus on other people than white western and northern Europeans. Third, I argue that, in a subsequent phase, such approaches coalesced around Franz Boas and what I call the Columbia University/ …
European Migrations
The essay begins with the “imperial intrusions” into Native Peoples’ cultural spaces and the eighteenth-century (re-)peopling of the American colonies. It discusses the caesura and new patterns from the Revolution to industrialization. It emphasizes migrant agency and decision-making in the frame of Europe’s societies-economies of origin. The arriving, fully socialized men and women form ethnocultural groups with fuzzy borders and acculturate acc…
The weak and the powerful
The essay examines the model case, the stateless Jewish diaspora, and asks why a dispersed powerful people like “the” Romans is not analyzed as diaspora. Do people, who establish institutions of rule far from their core and mythical place of origin, Rome in Italy in this case, and who impose their power, not form diasporas? Other ethnic, professional, and religious groups established diasporic connectivity: the Normans, men and women of Christian…
Proletarian and Gendered Mass Migrations
Proletarian and Gendered Mass Migrations connects the 19th- and 20th-century labor migrations and migration systems in global transcultural perspective. It emphasizes macro-regional internal continuities or discontinuities and interactions between and within macro-regions. The essays look at migrant workers experiences in constraining frames and the options they seize or constraints they circumvent. It traces the development from 19th-century pro…

Migrations
The history of humanity is a history of migration rather than an early nomadic ‘prehistory’ and a subsequent ‘history’ of settled peoples. Migrations involve intercultural exchange as well as conflict; a human-agency approach emphasizes that even forced migrants leave their mark, if under severely constrained conditions. This article describes the Homo sapiens ' migrations and the ‘agricultural revolution’; cities, civilizations, and seaborne mig…
Transformations over Time or Sudden Change
Both migrations and attitudes towards them have deep historical roots. To pronounce the present migration and the economic crisis triggered by derivative bankers in the fall of 2008 as 'new without historical precedent' overlooks the impact of patterns of the past on the present and prevents an understanding being reached of continuities and comparisons. It is not migrants who are 'uprooted', as some would have it, but historical memory is delibe…
From One Black Atlantic To Many
[ This chapter discusses the case for the global scale and increased segregation of global migration from the 1830s to 1920s. After briefly summarizing that work, it considers its implications for our understanding of migration history. The chapter provides more material for the comparative study of migration flows. It suggests ways to think more carefully about the effects of human mobility, and even about the causes and nature of inequalities a…

Crossing The Waters
A focus on the century from the 1830s to the 1930s provides an adequate periodization for connecting the migration systems of several seas. To show how rivers, seas, and oceans either connect or divide and how the nineteenth century seaborne migrations emerged from century-long practices, the chapter provides traveling knowledges and early seafaring and then turn to the most intensely traversed waters, the Indian Ocean and the East and Southeast …

From Immigration to Migration Systems
Traditionally, the United States, like Canada, has been considered a country of immigrants. From a European per spective, the very same men and women were emigrants. From Asia, again according to traditional notions, Chinese and others came as sojourners and would later return to their true homes. Men and women from Africa suffered through the Middle Passage and subsequently were bound as slaves. Mexicans came as braceros. Such views imply that E…

Changing Paradigms in Migration History
Introduction Into the 1970s, migration history in Europe and North America concentrated on the westward flow from Europe. Neither the high incidence of return migration (Hoerder 1982; Wyman 1993) nor the increasing cross-Pacific flow were taken into consideration. In fact, the mythology was, and is, so pervasive that few people realize that Alfred Stieglitz's famous photo "The Steerage" was taken on an eastbound trip and shows returning migrants;…

How the Intimate Lives of Subaltern Men, Women, and Children Confound the Nation's Master Narratives
From her erudite postcolonial perspective, Ann Laura Stoler invites historians, social scientists, and scholars from the humanities to look at the racializations and the intimacies generated by empires in the cores, the United States in particular, and to avoid privileging strategies emanating from the metropoles over circuits of people and ideas. She engages scholars not to read the nineteenth century by its state- and nation-building projects a…

John Bodnar’s Study—which I consider “the standard survey on the history of migration to the United States, which for many years will remain unsurpassed” (Hoerder, 1987)—also merits a controversial and lively discussion.
