Description
This volume contains empirical studies on German in-migration, internal migration, and transatlantic emigration from the 1820s to the 1930s, placed in a comparative perspective of Polish, Swedish, and Irish migration to North America. The essays here demonstrate that the three types of migration are indeed fundamentally interrelated. Special emphasis is placed on the role of women in the process of migration.
Reviews'... brilliant, readable and path-breaking ... a brilliant piece of social history, with essays that come alive because of the range of sources used and their consequent readability'. English Historical Review
