Description

The Great Transatlantic Migrations, 1870-1914 by Walter Nugent explores one of the most significant events in modern history: the mass migration of people across the Atlantic. Between 1870 and 1914, millions of individuals left their homes in Europe to settle in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and the United States. This book offers a fresh perspective on this complex story, tracing the migrations of over a dozen national groups and examining the experiences of migrants from rural Europe who settled in American mines and factories. Nugent also delves into the lives of women, including those seeking a new life on their own, and compares the settlement patterns of Europeans across the four major New World receiving countries. By shedding light on the nuances of transatlantic migration history, Nugent challenges widely held theories of development and offers a more subtle understanding of this pivotal period in human history.
