ABSTRACT/RESUME In this essay transpacific migrants are first contextualized in transatlantic and intra-imperial migration systems. Next, the life of one family is analyzed with respect to its transcontinental, transcultural, and transgenerational aspects under the impact of distant governmental policies, global economic change, and worldwide war. Third, the late nineteenth century official position that immigrants from Asia are "of habits subversive" is contrasted to many common Canadians' views of them as capable and compassionate neighbours and, fourth, to racialization in the context of imperial Britishness and Whiteness. Finally, the parliamentary debates over an end to exclusion and the beginning of a distinct Canadian citizenship serve to illustrate this complex change of attitudes at the state level. Dans cet article, des migrants transpacifiques sont d'abord situes dans le contexte des systemes transatlantiques et intra-imperiaux de migration. Ensuite, l&#...

Migration history was, for long, Atlanto-centric and framed by traditional nation-state discourse: European migrants moved from a nation to an ethnic enclave, e.g. from Italy to a Little Italy in some US city. The emigration countries’ nationalist historians would, usually, not mention emigrants – they were no longer part of the nation. (These historians would have had to question national identity constructs, had they taken into account the millions who left...). US scholars began their stories at Ellis Island because, not familiar with migrants’ language of birth, they could not study socialization in the culture of origin. They did not even care to look at Angel Island, the entry gate or, more often, detention center for migrants from Asian cultures. They called the border to Mexico a “backdoor,” a kind of servants’ entry for “brown” men and women. They assumed that immigrants carried some kind of “cultural baggage,” to be dropped as soon as possible. The paradigmatic frame of in...

identity to become French. Although each nation has experienced phobic patterns and periods of nativistic enthusiasm, the normative philosophical principles expressed in the unitary universal conception of citizenship discourages making distinctions among French citizens (especially those made on the basis of ethnicity) and tempers the arousal ofemotions fostered by ethnoracial ideologues like JeanMarie Le Pen and his National Front. On the matter ofdiscrimination, French scholars and politicians have increasingly looked to the experience of the United States to elude making crucial policy errors that might lead to the formation of an ethnically identifiable subaltern class analogous to American formations of concentrated ghetto poverty. The essays in this text make clear the fact that one cannot understand the greater emphasis on ethnicity in the American context without recognizing that immigration has historically been inextricablyintertwined with the issues ofslavery and racial caste. Sophie Body-Gendrot and Martin A. Schain point out that the more highly centralized political apparatus in France allows issues of ethnic conflict to rise to the national stage more swiftly and permits more decisive political action than the more locally differentiated system of federalism in the United States. In the literary critic Werner Sollors' essay on the shiftingdefinition ofthe idea of"America," the voice of ethnic writers comes alive. One wishes that more of this kind ofattention was paid to the perspectives of the actual participants in the experiences of immigration, as well as those involved in the debates about it. To its merit, this collection does contain informative discussions of the role of religion, the law and foreign policy dilemmas in understanding the relations of immigrants to their new lands of residence in an era of increasingly complex migration flows. One can only hope that we will see more of this kind of comparative study of differing experiences of immigration for other nations in the future.

This chapter discusses, critiques, and historicizes recent anchor terms in scholarly and public discourses: globalization, transnationalism, feminization of migration, and the skilled/unskilled categories. It explicates the development of inclusion of women's migrations into the field from the 1880s. The chapter suggests a shift from national to regional data, interpreted within societal frames, approached by an interdisciplinary transcultural societal studies methodology, and develops how migrant agency involves "Otherness as a resource" if under severe constraints. It historicizes, in gendered perspectives, the emergence of the nineteenth- to mid-twentieth century migrations in a perspective of centuries-long global connectivity. The chapter discusses the migration systems that emerged with the shift from industrial to service economies in the western and the oil-extracting segments of the world, as well as the change from de-colonized nation-states to (female) labour-exporting states. Keywords:feminization of migration; gendered labour migration; globalization; nineteenth-century proletarian; transcultural approaches; transnationalism; twenty-first-century caregiver mass migrations

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the book. The book deals with men and women and sometimes with migrant children or children left behind across the whole period from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. The authors of the book emphasize, first, the key role international migration has played, and continues to play in shaping political, economic and social processes in the world economy. Second, they place migrant workers in all places in the frames of host states' policies and broader socio-economic issues which acutely disadvantaged and disadvantages them. All chapters in the book link migrants' experiences to fundamental structural and social processes in global power relationships connected with the international economy. Finally, it indicates how state and family, migration traditions and family economies, and regional economic as well as structural societal contexts influence women's migration. Keywords:international migration; migrant children; migrant men; migrant women

Each and every empirical analysis of statehood, sovereignty, and territorial delimitation disrupts and contradicts the conventional understanding of states as clearly demarcated geopolitical entities. Historically, the concept of dynastic sovereign rule over a territory emerged after the carnage of the firs t European or Thirty Years' War of 1618"48 . In it, one third of the central European population perished, and nobilities and rulers sorely missed the revenues of these once productive and taxpaying subjects. In the peace of 1648'49, their delegates established the so-called Westphalian state system that still exists at the beginning of the 21st century: To prevent another European war, rulers held sovereignty over their territory, borders were meant to be inviolable, neighbouring rulers were not to interfere with the internal affairs of other states. However, these self-contained polities, in an economic and sociological perspective, were part oflarger spaces. In th...

Zusammenfassung: Sowohl die Migration als auch die Einstellungen dazu sind historisch tief verwurzelt. Wenn die aktuellen Wanderungsbewegungen und die von Derivatehändlern im Herbst 2008 verursachte Wirtschaftskrise als „neu und historisch beispiellos“ bezeichnet werden, wird über die Auswirkungen von Mustern der Vergangenheit auf die Gegenwart hinweggesehen und somit verhindert, dass Erkenntnisse über Kontinuitäten und Vergleiche gewonnen werden. Nicht die Migranten werden „entwurzelt“, wie bisweilen behauptet wird, sondern dem historischen Gedächtnis werden gezielt seine Wurzeln entzogen. Der vorliegende Beitrag geht zunächst auf die verschiedenen Probleme der heutigen Migrationsdebatten und die Historisierung der Perspektiven ein. Die einwandererfeindlichen Zuschreibungen, Stigmata und Ideologien werden kritisiert. Sodann werden die Daten präsentiert und die geographischen Dimensionen der Migrantenwege im Kontext der translokalen, transregionalen, transnationalen und globalen Ver...

A focus on the century from the 1830s to the 1930s provides an adequate periodization for connecting the migration systems of several seas. To show how rivers, seas, and oceans either connect or divide and how the nineteenth century seaborne migrations emerged from century-long practices, the chapter provides traveling knowledges and early seafaring and then turn to the most intensely traversed waters, the Indian Ocean and the East and Southeast Asian Seas. Beginning in the period of the early 1400s to the 1520s, the chapter describes how global changes in trade protocols and relations, in power hierarchies and early empire-building shaped macroregions far earlier than nineteenth century globalization: continuities and adaptations in the South and East Asian Seas before the 1830s' introduction of indentured and free mass migrations, the expansion of the West African-Iberian to a transoceanic Black Atlantic, the emergence of the White Atlantic and the transpacific routes. Keywords: Black Atlantic; global changes; Indian Ocean; power hierarchies; seaborne migrations; Southeast Asian Seas; trade protocols; White Atlantic

Der Uberblick beginnt in deep time-Perspektive mit der Entstehung von Menschen in und ihrer Wanderung aus Ostafrika. Es werden die Wanderungsfolge bis zum homo und femina sapiens behandelt und die Verbreitung uber alle Kontinente mit Hinweisen auf die Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft und fruhe Siedlungsagglomerationen und damit verbundene Anderungen im generativen Verhalten. Anschliesend werden sprachliche und kulturelle wanderungsbedingte Differenzierungen seit 15.000 v. u. Z. und bis etwa 500 u. Z. knapp zusammengefasst. Es folgt eine Analyse der Wanderungen bis zur Verbindung Asien-Europa-Afrika mit dem Doppelkontinent Amerika und der demographischen Folgen sowohl in Bezug auf Krankheitskeime wie Nahrungsmittel (Columbian exchange). Die Entwicklung innereuropaischer und, im 19. Jahrhundert, globaler Migrationssysteme folgt: Von afrikanisch-amerikanischer Sklaverei zu indenture im Plantagengurtel und besonders der Welt des Indischen Ozeans. Fur das 20. Jahrhundert werden die Fluchtbewegungen, ethnischen Deportationen, und die Zwangsarbeit unter Kolonialismus, Faschismus und Stalinismus behandelt. Mit der Dekolonisierung und global ungleicher Entwicklung gehen Fluchtlingsgeneration und Arbeitswanderungen von dem nordlichen Drittel der Welt auf den „globalen Suden“ uber. Die weltweite Wirtschaftskrise nach 1973 verandert Migrationsmuster ebenso wie die Bankenkrise von 2008. Durchgehend wird auf Veranderungen im regenerativen Verhalten bedingt durch freiwillige oder erzwungene Migration hingewiesen.

Studies in Global Migration History, Band: 39/13
Edited by Johannes Preiser-Kapeller, Lucian Reinfandt und Yannis Stouraitis
The transition zone between Africa, Asia and Europe was the most important intersection of human mobility in the medieval period. The present volume for the first time systematically covers migration histories of the regions between the Mediterranean and Central Asia and between Eastern Europe and the Indian Ocean in the centuries from Late Antiquity up to the early modern era.
Within this framework, specialists from Byzantine, Islamic, Medieval and African history provide detailed analyses of specific regions and groups of migrants, both elites and non-elites as well as voluntary and involuntary. Thereby, also current debates of migration studies are enriched with a new dimension of deep historical time.
Contributors are: Alexander Beihammer, Lutz Berger, Florin Curta, Charalampos Gasparis, George Hatke, Dirk Hoerder, Johannes Koder, Johannes Preiser-Kapeller, Lucian Reinfandt, Youval Rotman, Yannis Stouraitis, Panayiotis Theodoropoulos, and Myriam Wissa.

Migrants developing a society, scholars developing a Transcultural Societal Studies approach: the case of Canada-or: the several Canadas 1 Abstract: Histories of societies need to start "from the bottom up" or, correctly, from the majority up and may in the course of the argument narrow the story to small elites. Scholars in the many parts of Canada-a plurality-have dealt with these issues from the late 19th century and, with the multiculturalism debate, have arrived at transdisciplinary approaches. These I have combined into the Transcultural Societal Studies approach. In this lecture I will outline the migration history, the negotiations between Canada's many parts, and the specifics of scholarly pluralism.
