Abstract
Driven by diverse forces – economic pressures and opportunities, climate change, war, conquest, and transformation of political regimes – human migration has been central to circulation of knowledge and values, goods and labour. Yet it has been subject to mainly disciplinary inquiries and the existing body of studies has lacked a comprehensive perspective. This volume precisely attempts such a comprehensive historical and experiential perspective, and as a result leads us to reconsider the meanings of ‘human’, ‘movement’, and ‘borders.’.
