Synopsis

"Today, more than one billion people are estimated to have migrated at least once in their lives. 763 million people are internal migrants who have moved within the country where they were born. 272 million people are international migrants, who have moved from one country to another. Drawing on a wealth of case studies, World on the Move: 250,000 Years of Human Migration aims to introduce students to migration histories. Organized in five sections, the proposed textbook answers key questions to understand the causes, consequences, and meaning of migration in our daily life and the world's history: why do we move? where do we come from? where are we going? how does migration change us? World on the Move takes the distance from the standard origin/destination approach and the common narrative of migrants settling/unsettling in a particular place, to focus instead on the study of populations blending and co-existing together in the continuous process of nation building. The authors complicate the origin/destination binary and the use of push-pull factors to reach the deep and true causes of migration, which is usually influenced by forces beyond our control, such as where and when we were born and what political, economic, and environmental conditions are like in our area. Providing a comprehensive introduction to the study of migration and migration studies World on the Movechallenge its readers to consider the scale, composition, and time-depth of human population movements, the ways in which research on migration and displacement have been used (and misused) to support public policy, and the lived experiences of individuals, families, and communities on the move"--
