GABACCIA Donna R., HOERDER DirkConnecting seas and connected ocean rims : Indian, Atlantic, and Pacaific oceans and China seas migrations from the 1830s to the 1930sLeiden ; Boston : Brill, 2011, XI-552 p.Collection Studies in global social history ; 8ISBN 978-90-04-19316-1M 259Résumé éditeur : Long-distance migration of peoples have been a central if little understood factor in global integration. The essays in this collection contribute to a new history of world migrations, written by specialists of particular areas of the world. Collectively these essays point towards a shift from the regional migrations of individual seas and oceans of the early modern era toward nineteenth-century labor migrations that connected the Pacific and Indian to the Atlantic Oceans. Detailed case studies demonstrate the importance of human migration in the development, consolidation and critique of empire-building, theories of race, modern capitalism, and large-scale commercial agriculture and industry on every continent.Donna R.
