This fascinating study traces the connections among regions brought about by the movement of people, diseases, crops, technology and ideas.
Drawing on examples from a wide range of geographical regions and thematic areas, Manning covers:
* earliest human migrations, including the earliest hominids, their development and spread, and the controversy surrounding the rise of homo sapiens
* the rise and spread of major language groups
* examination of civilizations, farmers and pastoralists from 3000 BCE to 500 CE
* trade patterns including the early Silk Road and maritime trade in the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean
* the effect of migration on empire and industry between 1700 and 1900
* the resurgence of migration in the later twentieth century, including movement to cities, refugees and diasporas.

This engaging narrative shows the continuity of migratory processes from the time of foragers who settled the earth to farmers opening new fields and merchants linking purchasers everywhere. In the last thousand years, accumulation of wealth brought capitalism, industry, and the travels of free and slave migrants. In a contest of civilizational hierarchy and movements of emancipation, nations arose to replace empires, although conflicts within nations expelled refugees. The future of migration is now a serious concern. A clean very presentable copy. N° de réf. du vendeur 018948
