About the Authors
  • Volume II presents an authoritative overview of the various continuities and changes in migration and globalization from the 1800s to the present day. Despite revolutionary changes in communication technologies, the growing accessibility of long-distance travel, and globalization across major economies, the rise of nation-states empowered immigration regulation and bureaucratic capacities for enforcement that curtailed migration. One major theme worldwide across the post-1800 centuries was the differentiation between 'skilled' and 'unskilled' workers, often considered through a racialized lens; it emerged as the primary divide between greater rights of immigration and citizenship for the former, and confinement to temporary or unauthorized migrant status for the latter. Through thirty-one chapters, this volume further evaluates the long global history of migration; and it shows that despite the increased disciplinary systems, the primacy of migration remains and continues to shape political, economic, and social landscapes around the world.

    • Sheds light on the different experiences of 'skilled' and 'unskilled' migrant workers
    • Evaluates the continuities and changes in migration and globalization from the pre- to post- industrial world
    • Brings together leading scholars across various fields to create a comprehensive history of global migrations
    • Explores the many varieties of human mobilities and illustrates how they have been essential aspects of social, economic, and political systems
