This volume is an innovative history of major worldwide population movements, free and forced, from around 1500 to the early 20th century. It explores the shifting levels of freedom under which migrants traveled, and compares the experiences of migrants (and their descendants) who arrived under drastically different labor regimes.--Alison Games "Georgetown University"
