European Expansion and Migration: Essays on the Intercontinental Migration from Africa, Asia and Europe

by P.C. Emmer (Editor), M. Mörner (Editor)

Overview

This challenging study examines the most dramatic consequences of European expansion and looks at why millions of ex-Europeans now live in the Americas while so few are in Asia and Africa and why few Africans migrated after the slave trade had been abolished. The authors further address the issues of the demography of migrant points of origin; female migration; integration or isolation of the migrants; returban migration; and capital movements related to migration.
