From the movement of homo erectus out of Africa one million years ago to the Aboriginal settlement of Australia around 50,000 BC; and from the barbarian invasions of early medieval Europe to the diaspora of African slaves in the early modern period, the migration of peoples has been a critical motor of change throughout human history.The Wanderers brings together 50 epic accounts of the mass movement of peoples. Each account not only describes the migration itself, but also examines in detail its causes, and its short- and long-term consequences. The Wanderers tells a multiplicity of stories - of the discovery of new worlds, of flight from persecution, of nation-building, of colonization, and of human courage and resourcefulness. Most of all, it tells the enthralling and multifaceted story of the human race itself. Migrations covered include:The long walk out of Eden: the spread of early humansThe medieval German 'Drive to the East'The first AmericansThe Spanish in the New WorldThe Phoenicians and the foundation of CarthageThe Portuguese in BrazilThe Celtic migrationsThe Plantations in IrelandThe Greek colonisation of the MediterraneanThe English in the New WorldThe Jewish DiasporaSlave migrants: the African DiasporaThe Huns and the Age of MigrationsIrish migrants in the 19th centuryThe VandalsItalian migration to AmericaThe Anglo-Saxon migrationsGoldrush to California The Arab expansionBack to IsraelThe Viking Atlantic sagaThe forgotten aftermath of WWIIThe Turks: from central Asia to ConstantinopleMigrations in the age of globalisation No library descriptions found. |
