Böcker av Dirk Hoerder

This collection of essays revises and broadens scholarly assumptions about the history of migration in search of work. The book begins with a critique of current concepts in migration history and a general survey of European labor migration from the 1820s to the 1920s.

This bibliography is a comprehensive collection of the non-English-language labor and radical periodical publications of the United States and Canada, written for and by immigrants.

Continuing the work of the first two volumes, the third and final volume of Dirk Hoerder's landmark bibliography covers labor migrants from Southern and Western Europe.

As in the first volume, entries are divided into individual language sections for ease of reference. Each section begins with general information about the cooperating language specialists, the area where the language was spoken in 1910, and explanation of library and depository symbols, and a section bibliography.

Migrations and Belongings traces burgeoning population flows across several continents from 1870 to 1945 and explains the variables involved and the processes of acculturation by which "belonging" takes shape. Migration, it shows, is both a critique of unsatisfactory conditions in one society and a contribution of human capital to another.

Analysis of migrations-regional, interregional, continent-wide, and global-and the resulting cultural interactions and societal changes.

The study of migration is and always has been an interdisciplinary field of study, vast and vibrant in nature. This book takes in its scope an overview of migrations through history, how classic theories have interpreted such movements, and contemporary topics and debates including transnational and transcultural lives, and access to citizenship.
