Citizenship and Those Who Leave

"Groundbreaking. . . . A new perspective on migration."--Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare

"These articles taken together provide excellent historical documentation but also a gentle prodding to change the way much migration is talked about and even researched."--Journal of Anthropological Research

“This volume reminds us that for most of the modern period and in a greater number of places, exodus, rather than entry, was the crucial issue, that a larger population has been perceived more often as a blessing than as a problem. The editors assemble a list of international scholars that reads like a ‘who’s who’ of migration studies, and in every case, the quality of the contributions matches the reputation of the contributors.”--Jose C. Moya, author of Cousins and Strangers: Spanish Immigrants in Buenos Aires, 1850-1930
