This short book provides a succinct and masterly overview of the history of migration, from the earliest movements of human beings out of Africa into Asia and Europe to the present day, exploring along the way those factors that contribute to the successes and failures of migratory groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This elegantly written book develops a compelling argument about the role of migrations in the history of mankind. An eminent historical demographer, Livi-Bacci is able to bring the demographic perspective to bear on the highly complex phenomenon of migration - whether in the context of Ancient times or in today’s context of globalization, where immigration has become a highly controversial and politicized issue.  A compelling read for a general audience wishing to understand the 'migration problem' and its relevance for today’s public policy.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBruno Ramirez, Université de Montréal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The appearance of any book by demographic historian Massimo Livi-Bacci is cause for celebration and one on migration especially welcome. Migration, more than most issues, is best understood in the context of long-term patterns.  This book, drawing on research in several languages, deftly puts the European experience of both emigration and immigration into long-term historical perspective, distilling six centuries into fewer than 100 pages.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJ.R.
