Trim but fact-filled, this seven-chapter subject monograph presents the migratory history of humankind from early hominids onward. King (Writing Across Worlds) considers the factors that stimulate mass relocation and examines the social, economic, and cultural impact of these movements. Pertinent, subject-relevant quotes; rare period photographs; and highly detailed, full-color migratory maps make this an edifying read. In addition to a series of time lines that ribbon across each chapter's introductory pages, the book concludes with a two-page, by-year chronology of significant historical diasporas, both forced and freely chosen. Highly recommended for cultural studies and public library collections.
