Volume I documents the lives and experiences of everyday people through the lens of human movement and mobility from 1400–1800. Focusing on the most important typologies of pre-industrial global migrations, this volume reveals how these movements transformed global paths of mobility, the impacts of which we still see in societies today. Case studies include those that arose from the demand of free, forced and unfree labour, long and short distance trade, rural/urban displacement, religious mobility and the rise of the number of refugees worldwide. With thirty chapters from leading experts in the field, this authoritative volume is an essential and detailed study of how migration shaped the nature of global human interactions before the age of modern globalization.
- Examines in detail how human mobility impacted major developments in global history before the industrial age
- Explains how migrations that occurred as early as 1400 shape the course of the world today
- Sheds new light on the lives of under-privileged, mobile people in the early modern world
- Brings together scholars across various fields to create a comprehensive history of global migrations
