{"product_id":"migration-a-world-history-new-oxford-world-history-9780199764334","title":"Migration: A World History (New Oxford World History)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMigration began with our origin as the human species and continues today. Each chapter of world history features distinct types of migration. The earliest migrations spread humans across the globe. Over the centuries  as our cultures  societies  and technologies evolved in different material environments  migrants conflicted  merged  and cohabited with each other  creating  entering  and leaving various city-states  kingdoms  empires  and nations. During the early modern period  migrations reconnected the continents  including through colonization and forced migrations of subject peoples  while political concepts like \"citizen\" and \"alien\" developed. In recent history  migrations changed their character as nation-states and transnational unions sought in new ways to control the peoples who migrated across their borders.  This volume will explore the process of migration chronologically and also at several levels  from the illuminating example of the migration of a individual community  to larger patterns of the collective movements of major ethnic groups  to the more abstract study of the processes of emigration  migration  and immigration. This book will concentrate on substantial migrations covering long distances and involving large numbers of people. It will intentionally balance evidence from the now diverse peoples of the world  for example  by highlighting an exemplary migration for each of the six chapters that highlights different trajectories and by keeping issues of gender and socio-economic class salient wherever appropriate. Further  as a major theme  the volume will consider how technology  the environment  and various polities have historically shaped human migration. Exciting new scholarship in the several fields inherent in this topic make it a particularly valuable and timely project.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45495910432821,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199764336","price":31.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199764334.jpg?v=1780903444","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/migration-a-world-history-new-oxford-world-history-9780199764334","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
