ies consists of short studies on the history of migration, from antiquity to the present day and across a wide geographical scope. Taking a broad definition of migration, the editors welcome books that consider all forms of mobility, including cross-border mobility, internal migration and forced migration. These books investigate the causes and consequences of migration, whether for economic, religious, humanitarian or political reasons, and the policies and organizations that facilitate or challenge mobility. Exploring responses to migration, the series looks to migrants’ experiences, the communities left behind and the societies in which they settled. Using Palgrave Macmillan’s Pivot format, these short books enable authors to present empirical data more fully than in journal articles or to offer concise overviews of specific topics related to migration history.

“Human mobility – through migration, everyday movement, transportation, and population shifts – can be understood in a myriad ways. Scholars have framed ‘mobility’ in the past decade or so as a dynamic and critical concept in studies of sociology and geography. Taking these ideas, and by providing a strong synthesis and interpretation, Pooley’s book engages in new and exciting ways with the role of historical readings of mobility, migration and transport. The worlds of people in the past, their mobile lives, are integrated here in a sophisticated, short innovative text, with its underlying argument for an interdisciplinary shift across the way we think, read, teach and research in mobility studies.” —Catharine Coleborne, Professor and Head of School of Humanities and Social Science, University of Newcastle, Australia. “Pooley has written a revelatory and accessible book that makes the case that students of migration, mobility, and transportation would do well to look to each other in order to deepen their understanding of the human experience – and to do so in historical perspective. Using a combination of international data, a wide set of references, and individual example, Pooley persuasively argues that these three fields together open the way for rich interdisciplinary research and teaching.” —Leslie Page Moch, Professor Emerita of History, Department of History, Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA.
