Escaping in Twentieth-Century Russia
This article considers the escapees who populated Russia’s twentieth century in astonishingly large numbers. By escapees, the authors mean not only those who had been incarcerated, exiled, and deported, but also others who ignored or willfully violated regulations limiting movement – peasant settlers moving “irregularly” to scarcely-populated or recently depopulated areas; seasonal workers making independent employment arrangements; migrants to t…
Obliterating Boundaries, Questioning Borders
Jan and Leo Lucassen have undertaken an ambitious taskto make migration universally legible to scholars and to public discourse by rendering migration worldwide comparable and measurable, like the gross national product or rates of literacy. In order to approach this task, they have, of necessity, created new datasetsfor this alone they are to be congratulated, for undertaking tasks that require a combination of hubris and the willingness to make…
Transnationalism in One Country? Seeing and Not Seeing Cross-Border Migration within the Soviet Union
In the early 1990s social scientists began to refer to migrants who retained familial and economic ties with their country of origin as transnational. The term eventually gained currency among historians who had found multiple examples of such ties in earlier decades and centuries. Although migrants traveling among former Soviet republics came to be understood as transnational, Soviet-era migrants never have been so characterized. We contend that…
Domestic Service, Migration, and Ethnic Stereotyping
Historians’ attention to timing and the contingencies of history inform this study of the evolution of domestic servants. It explores the case of Breton domestics in Paris from 1880 to after the Second World War, focusing on the change in status and stereotype represented by a popular cartoon character as the belle époque gave way to the interwar period, the migrant group of Bretons in Paris changed, state policy on regional cultures evolved, and…
The Intergenerational Legacies of Louise Audino Tilly
These comments take us back to a very different era, when women historians were rare in state universities and women's history was in its infancy. Sorting out the threads of Louise's legacy is difficult; this is a multifaceted legacy of character and scholarship, of intellectual and personal support of those around her. In the context of emerging family history—one that began with consideration of neither women nor the poor—Tilly fought for histo…
Negotiated Empires
In this innovative volume, leading historians of the early modern Americas examine the subjects of early modern, continuing colonization, and the relations between established colonies and frontiers of settlement. Their original essays about centers and peripheries in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch, and British America invite comparison
Lessons and cautionary tales from the past
This essay articulates the connections between historical migrations in Europe and the Europeanness – in practice, if not in self-identity – of its mobile inhabitants. The volume of migration has fluctuated dramatically since the seventeenth century; some migrants have stayed at destination among almost every group, but their welcome has been diminished by war, political change, and economic downturns. History has three lessons to offer: it shows…
David Hopkin. Voices of the People in Nineteenth-Century France
Two Breton women in close conversation, portrayed by Émile Bernard, decorate the cover of this book—this is a conversation that the author wants us to overhear. His attentive ear evokes Chandler Davis's “Envoi,” which opens Natalie Zemon Davis's Society and Culture in Early Modern France: Eight Essays (1975): “The songs you think are vanished once they're sung/The pleas you think are wasted if turned down,/Jokes you dismiss if no one laughs or wi…
The Pariahs of Yesterday
Chapter one. Contexts
Contexts[ Although Paris is the focus of this book, it was not the sole destination of Breton migrs.Bretons had a history of departures abroad and a shorter but important history of moving within France, which along with Brittany itself provides a crucial context for the late-nineteenth-century mass movements to Paris. bretons in the worldThe people of Brittany had long moved over ocean and sea to the western and southern hemispheres.Although Bre…
The Pariahs of Yesterday
Beginning in the 1870s, a great many Bretons began arriving in Paris. Every age has its pariahs, and in 1900, the “pariahs of Paris” were the Bretons, the last distinct group of provincials to come en masse to the capital city. The pariah designation took hold in Paris, in Brittany, and among historians. Yet the derision of recent migrants can be temporary. Tracing the changing status of Bretons in Paris since 1870, Leslie Page Moch demonstrates …

Migrants and urban change - By Anne Winter
Moving Europeans, Second Edition
Connecting Migration and World History
The history of migration is the history of human connections. Migration, then, is a powerful element in world history precisely because it identifies points of contact among peoples and nations and thus provides a deeper understanding of the human experience than institutional or diplomatic perspectives. Here, I seek to connect the global history of migration to family systems, demographic patterns and gender relations – those most intimate conne…
Migration and the Nation
The theme of this year’s meeting, “International Perspectives on Social Science History,” rises out of two realities. The first is the recognized international character of phenomena under study, such as fertility decline, political contention, family strategies in response to changing conditions, gendered work, migration, labor, and policing. The second is the way in which the Social Science History Association (SSHA) operates across borders and…
Cultures in Contact
In 2002, Dirk Hoerder published his magnum opus, Cultures in Contact: World Migrations in the Second Millennium (Durham, NC, 2002). In this book, Hoerder describes and analyses, with an unusual breadth of scope, the origins, causes, and extent of human migration around the globe from the eleventh century onward to the present day, paying particular attention to the impact migrations have had in the receiving countries and the cultural interaction…
Networks among Bretons? The evidence for Paris, 1875–1925
This article questions the notion that migrant networks provided an incentive to travel by furnishing both contacts upon arrival and continued assistance for those who remained. It focuses on newcomers to Paris from Brittany from 1875 to 1925. Sources include (a) memoirs and interview data from large-scale studies, (b) information on marriage patterns in the XIVe arrondissement and the industrial suburb of Saint-Denis, and (c) information on the …

Getting along
By anyone's standard, Marie-Therese Dubon needed help. Having lost her job, she had been unable to pay her infant daughter's wetnurse. The nurse's neighboring countrywomen had written that the infant was being left to starve, so Dubon had spent her last sous fetching her daughter. Because the wetnurse had refused to give up the baby's clothes until the debt was settled, Dubon returned to Paris on a hot summer's day in 1907 with the infant wrapped…
Joining the Urban World
Historians and sociologists have long been aware of variability in family structure and behavior and curious about the effects of large-scale change on the family. Nineteenth-century social scientists from Frederic LePlay to Lewis Henry Morgan interpreted family change in an evolutionary framework: LePlay discerned what he believed was the baleful effect of changes in the law on family life, Morgan, the progress due to changing economic and envir…

Migration and the Social History of Modern Europe
The role that migration has played in the social history of modern Europe is reviewed. The authors challenge the concept that migration was linked primarily with urbanization and modernization and suggest that migration played an important role in pre-modern societies as well. The need for an interdisciplinary approach to the study of historical migration patterns is stressed. (ANNOTATION)

Adolescence and Migration
At eighteen, Marius Pouzergue was a student at the regional secondary school in the Southern French city of Nîmes. He lived near the lycée with his family in a solid bourgeois neighborhood. The small but prosperous Pouzergue household included Marius’s father, his mother, his eighteen-year-old sister Lucie, and a cook. Marius’s father was a court lawyer. Nineteen-year-old Adèle Lafont, like Marius, lived with her family. The Lafonts resided on th…

Internal Migration during Modernization in Late Nineteenth-Century Russia
To understand why people migrate during periods of modernization, Barbara Anderson contends that one must study the place of origin, since the persons at the origin are the potential migrant population. Using data from the 1897 Imperial Russian Census, the author examines two types of migration: that to an already settled, relatively modern area, such as the major cities; and that to a sparsely populated, relatively traditional area, such as the …
Paths to the City
Paths to the City presents a study of migration from rural areas to the industrializing city of Nimes in the 19th century. With unusual technical skill, Moch is able to reconstruct the lives of migrants in their villages and in the cities. She is able to separate them into separate streams of migrations; trace the work, marriage, and child-bearing patterns of migrants back to their rural roots; and compare migrants with people who did not move. S…
