Volume II presents an authoritative overview of the various continuities and changes in migration and globalization from the 1800s to the present day. Despite revolutionary changes in communication technologies, the growing accessibility of long-distance travel, and globalization across major economies, the rise of nation-states empowered immigration regulation and bureaucratic capacities for enforcement that curtailed migration. One major theme worldwide across the post-1800 centuries was the differentiation between 'skilled' and 'unskilled' workers, often considered through a racialized lens; it emerged as the primary divide between greater rights of immigration and citizenship for the former, and confinement to temporary or unauthorized migrant status for the latter. Through thirty-one chapters, this volume further evaluates the long global history of migration; and it shows that despite the increased disciplinary systems, the primacy of migration remains and continues to shape political, economic, and social landscapes around the world.

Volume I documents the lives and experiences of everyday people through the lens of human movement and mobility from 1400-1800. Focusing on the most important typologies of pre-industrial global migrations, this volume reveals how these movements transformed global paths of mobility, the impacts of which we still see in societies today. Case studies include those that arose from the demand of free, forced and unfree labour, long and short distance trade, rural/urban displacement, religious mobility and the rise of the number of refugees worldwide. With thirty chapters from leading experts in the field, this authoritative volume is an essential and detailed study of how migration shaped the nature of global human interactions before the age of modern globalization.

Split into two volumes, The Cambridge History of Global Migrations explores the lives and evaluates the significance of mobile people from 1400 to the present. Typically viewed as a phenomenon synonymous with nineteenth century globalization, migration was ubiquitous and triggered significant social, economic, technological and cultural transformations across time. Featuring over sixty essays from experts across the field, together the volumes amplify the stories of foragers and herders, pilgrims and missionaries, merchants, slaves, captives and prisoners, wealthy and impoverished jobseekers, and refugees fleeing violence, oppression and environmental change. By evaluating the continuities and changes of migration and globalization, it reveals the long-standing power imbalance between economic elites, imperial and nation-states, and the everyday people who wished to have a say in who can be forced, encouraged, prohibited or permitted to migrate. Insightful and comprehensive, these volumes uncover the ever-present tensions of movement and immobility, and the various dynamics of globalization.
