Migration in Modern World History, 1500-2000 / Edition 1

by Northeastern University, Patrick Manning

Overview

This interactive multimedia curriculum on CD-ROM goes beyond the mere chronicling of migratory paths to provide a springboard that allows students to explore a wide range of global issues in social, cultural, economic, and political history. Human migration is the story of individual lives enmeshed in the large themes of identity, culture, work, social institutions, and coercion. This link between individual experience and social forces makes migration an especially rich subject for the introductory study of world history.
