This intriguing book explores the reasons why people migrate: pushes - involuntary migrations - and pulls - voluntary migrations. Historical migrations examined include: the slave trade; the relocation of Native Americans; migrations due to famine in Africa; migrations linked to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the Irish potato famine; the migrations of Jews around the world; and the 'Great Migration' of African Americans from the south to the north.
