Moving Europeans

Praise for the first edition:"By far the best general book on its subject.... Moving Europeans will remain a standard reference for some time to come." --Charles Tilly"Moch has reconceived the social history of Europe." -- David LevineMoving Europeans tells the story of the vast movements of people throughout Europe and examines the links between human mobility and the fundamental changes that transformed European life. This update of a classic text describes the Western European migration from the pre-industrial era to the year 2000. For this new edition, Leslie Page Moch reconsiders the 20th century in light of fundamental changes in labor, years of conflict, and the new migrations following the end of colonial empires, the fall of communism, and globalization. This new edition also features a greatly expanded and up-to-date bibliography.

Leslie Page Moch is Professor of History at Michigan State University and author of Paths to the City: Regional Migration in Nineteenth-Century France and editor of European Migrants: Global and Local Perspectives (with Dirk Hoerder) and Challenging Authority: The Historical Study of Contentious Politics (with Michael Hanagan and Wayne te Brake). She is president of the Social Science History Association (2002).
