Short description:
An in-depth look at trends in North American internal migration.
MoreLong description:
This volume gathers established and new scholars working on North American immigration, transmigration, internal migration, and citizenship whose work analyzes the development of migrant and state-level institutions as well as migrant networks. With contemporary migration research most often focused on the development of transnational communities and the ways international migrants maintain relationships with their sending region that sustain the circular flow of people, ideas, and traditions across national boundaries it is useful to compare these to similar patterns evident within the terrain of internal migration. To date, however, international and internal migration studies have unfolded in relative isolation from one another with each operating within these distinct fields of expertise rather than across them. Although there has been some important linking, there has not been a recent major consideration of human migration that works across and within the various borders of the North American continent. Thus, the volume presents a variety of chapters that seek to consider human migration in comparative perspective across the internal/international divide.

Repositioning North American Migration History is a volume in Studies in Comparative History, sponsored by Princeton University's Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies.
This collection, partly in homage to Dirk Hoerder, explores a variety of migratory experiences in and to North America in ways that provide a distinctive take on events that scholars might otherwise segregate, thus missing some rich comparisons. . . . Community membership is far more complex and contested than . . . most political theorists imagine. The essays in this volume consistently reveal that lesson, and those wishing to explore its implications will find this book especially provocative. JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY, March 2006 Repositioning North American Migration History is an excellent collection of scholarship that paves the way for future studies. . . . Similar to recent scholarly efforts to . . . move beyond fixed notions of the nation-state to imagine a wider geographic and conceptual frame of community, this volume enriches and expands our study of the history of North American migrants.
