Migration is a core theme in world
historical studies. It is an expansive
term that often embraces or crosses over to emigration, immigration, and diaspora
studies.1
Its place in world history owes much
to the work of Patrick Manning at the World History Center at the University of
Pittsburgh. Manning was a contributor to
a landmark work in this field: Jan Lucassen, Leo Lucassen and Patrick Manning, Migration History in World
History: Multidisciplinary Approaches Studies in Global Societies
History, 3, (Leiden: Brill, 2010), which divided migration research
intofour areas, history, biological/population genetics, linguistics and anthropology. As this work pointed out, traditionally, most
historians concentrated their studies on human population movements after 1750,
due to the availability of written records. However, in what has been called the "new synthesis: anthropologists, archaeologists,geneticists,
linguists, and biologists are acting in concert are facilitating migration
research as far back as 80, 000 years ago.2.
Some online examples of relatively light-hearted exploration of the
"new synthesis" as "history" can be found in Jan Vansina's "Historians, Are Archaeologist Your Siblings?" and Peter Robert Shaw's
response, "Sibling Rivalry? The Intersection of Archaeology and
History."3
However, well apart from problems of
definition and the place of the new synthesis in migration research, are far
more fascinating issues for research and classroom discussion, such as migration
"stories," or myths or theories that are used in nationalistic
discourse or identity politics, such as The Aryan Invasion Theory, Manifest
Destiny, Zionist and Arab migration histories into the Levant, and the
"Empty Land" theory that sparked European migrations into Africa.
These and other issues are included in this annotated list of digital resources
on migration designed to assist researchers and classroom instructors engaging
in world historical analysis.
The following digital resources are
organized along the following lines: Getting Started-- introductory guides, websites,
book reviews and articles, monographs, foundation papers, slide shares,
video/film, lesson plans, bibliographies, syllabi and resources presented via a
regional breakdown.
Getting Started--introductory Guides
As with almost
any subject of historical research today, there are a host of digital resources
migration. These are so numerous that it is well to begin with a short list of
key works. However, novices in the field require a means of choosing among even
these. Fortunately, there are several key
books of the printed variety that have been the subject of exceptionally
detailed reviews, available digitally, that constitute a shortcut to grasping
the essentials of the field. There are
also exceptional websites that offer a general introduction to migration
studies and related themes examined in the websites and other digital resources
to follow:

H-Net reviews by Craig Lockard and Heather Streets-Slater of Jon Thares Davidann and
Marc Jason Gilbert, Cross-Cultural
Encounters in Modern World History. New York: 2013, Pearson, 2013. Uses the causes and effects of migration as
the fulcrum of studies of the encounter between, among others, Europeans and Ameridians, Polynesians and the West, and European-African
relations from the slave trade to the current tensions between
populist/nativist movements and recent migrants from Africa and the Middle
East. Each chapter includes study
questions for students.

Liz Stinson, "An Infograhic that Maps 2,600 Years of Culture in 5
Minutes," wired.com, August 7, 2014. Infographic created at
University of Texas, Dallas showing how creative minds/artists moved/migrated,
as a change over time, to art hubs. Examples mentioned are Greece, Rome,
Paris, Berlin, and Hollywood. Even though Eurocentric this could be used
as a change over time exerciseto highlight types of arts/artists at each
hub city, why the urban site became an art hub and why it may have declined.
Also, one could add any world
historical context swirling around that city or how that city and it's art effected thesurrounding regions, also world
historical context.
Seeing that this infographic is Eurocentric,
one could also research what sites prior to Greece were art/intellectual hubs,
such as Babylon, early AbbasidBaghdad, Andalusian Spain or even Bollywood
today and what allowed these "hubs" to create art, intellectual,
technological advances and why they declined.

Note Ryba L. Epstein designed DBQ [Document Based Essay question] on Travelers and their
views on "the Other" they encountered in
their trade, political and militarymissions, migrations, diasporas, etc.
Ryba L. Epstein 2011. Permission granted for
classroom use with acknowledgement.
Note to teachers: choose 6-8 of the following documents for a timed essay. All
may be used for an out-of-class practice DBQ.
Travel and the "Other" DBQ
Instructions to students:
This question is designed to test your ability to work with and understand
historical documents. Write an essay that:
• Has a relevant thesis that does more than simply restate the question.
• Supports the thesis with evidence from the documents.
• Uses all of the documents.
• Analyzes the documents by grouping them in as many appropriate ways as
possible and explaining the reason for the groups [group implies at least two
documents]. Does not simply summarize the documents individually.
• Interprets the meaning of the documents correctly.
• Takes into account both the sources of the documents and the authors' points
of view.
• Notes what additional information or documents would be useful to answer the
question and explains why that document would be useful in answering the
question.
Prompt:
Using the documents listed below from the time period of 600 BCE to 1500 CE,
analyze the various reactions of travelers and the people whom they encountered
to the "other" and speculate on the reasons for these reactions. Be
sure to explain what specific additional sources might change
yourinterpretation of the question.
Document 1
Hanno, a Carthaginian admiral, on a voyage along the west coast of Africa,
around 425 B.C.E., searching for sites for new settlements:
"Passing on from there we came to the large river Lixos,
flowing from Libya, besides which nomads called Lixitae pastured there flocks. We stayed some time
withthem and became friends. . . . Inland from there dwelt inhospitable
Ethiopians in land ridden with wild beasts and hemmed in by great mountains. .
. . [Further along the journey, probably up the Senegal River] . . . we came to
the end of the lake, overhung by some very high mountains crowded with savages
clad in the skins of wild beasts, who stoned us and beat us off and prevented
us from disembarking."
Document 2
Priscus, c. 450 C.E., official sent to Attila the Hun
by the Eastern Roman Empire:
"A lavish meal, served on silver trenchers, was prepared for us and the
other barbarians, but Attila just had meat on a wooden platter, for this was
one aspect ofhis self-discipline. For instance, gold or silver cups were
presented to the others diners, but his own goblet was made of wood. His
clothes, too, were simple, and no trouble was taken except to have them clean."
Document 3
Ibn Fadlun, circa 920 C.E., ambassador of the Caliph
of Baghdad to the Bulgar Khaganate:
"I saw the Rus when they arrived on their
trading mission and anchored at the River Atul [Volga]. Never had I seen people of more perfect physique; they are tall as
date-palms, and reddish in color. They wear neither coat nor mantle, but each
man carries a cape which covers one half of his body, leaving one hand free.
Their swords are Frankish in pattern, broad, flat, and fluted. Each man has
[tattooed upon him] trees, figures, and the like from the fingernails to the
neck. . . . They are the filthiest of God's creatures. They do not wash after
discharging their natural functions, neither do they wash their hands after
meals. They are as donkeys."
Document 4
From Travels of Marco Polo, Venetian merchant and explorer, describing the
capital of the Yuan dynasty in China c. 1280-90 C.E.:
"The people are idolaters; and since they were conquered by the Great
Khan* they use paper money. [Both men and women are fair and comely, and for
the mostpart clothe themselves in silk, so vast is the supply of that
material, both from the whole district of Kinsay, and
from the imports by traders from other provinces.]
And you must
know they eat every kind of flesh, even that of dogs and other unclean beasts,
which nothing would induce a Christian to eat."
*Kublai, grandson of Genghis Khan
Document 5
Usama, Syrian Muslim chronicler, 12th century:
"Everyone who is a fresh immigrant from the Frankish lands is ruder in
character than those who have been acclimatized and have held long associations
with the Muslims. . . .
we came to the house of one of the old knights who
came with the first expedition. This man had retired from the army and was
living on the income of the property he owned in Antioch.
He had a fine table brought out, spread with a splendid selection of appetizing
food. He saw that I was not eating, and said: ‘Don't worry, please; eat what you like,for I don't eat Frankish food. I have
Egyptian cooks and only eat what they serve. No pig's flesh ever comes into my
house.' So I ate, although cautiously, and then we left."
Document 6
Ibn Battuta, from Travels in Asia and Africa, 14th century:
". . . I met the qadi of Mali, Abd al-Rahman, who came to see me: he is a black, has
been on the pilgrimage [to Mecca], and is a noble person with good qualities
and character.
He sent me a cow as his hospitality gift. I met the interpreter Dugha, a noble black and a leader of theirs. He sent me a
bull. . . . They performed their duty towards me [as a guest] most perfectly;
may God bless and reward them for their good deeds!"
Document 7
Bertrandon de La Brocquière,
from his book The Journey to Outre-Mer, French
pilgrim to the Middle East, around 1433 CE:
"They [the Turks] are a tolerably handsome race, with long beards, but of
moderate size and strength. I know well that it is a common expression to say
‘as strong as a Turk',
nevertheless I have seen an infinity of Christians excel them when strength was
necessary, . . . They are diligent, willingly rise early, and live on little,
being satisfied with bread badly baked, raw meat dried in the sun, milk curdled
or not, honey, cheese, grapes, fruit, herbs, and even a handful of flour with
which they make a soup sufficient to feed six or eight for a day. . . . Their
horses are good, cost little in food, gallop well and for a long time. They
keep them on short allowances, never feeding them but at night and then giving
them only five or six handfuls of barley with double the quantity of chopped
straw, the whole put into a bag which hangs from the horse's ears. . . . I must
own that in my various experiences I have always found the Turks frank and
loyal, and when it was necessary to show courage, they have never failed . . .
"
Document 8
Sultan Bayezid II, ruler of the Ottoman empire
(1481-1512):
"You know very well the unwashed [Christians] and their ways and manners,
which certainly are not fine. They are indolent, sleepy, easily shocked, inactive; they like to drink much and to eat much; . . .
They keep horses only to ride while hunting with their dogs; if one of them
wishes to have a good war-horse, he sends to buy it from us. . . .They let
women follow them in the campaigns, and at their dinners give them the upper
places; and they always want to have warm dishes. In short, there is no good in
them."
Document 9
Christopher Columbus, from his log dated October 12, 1492:
"I want the natives to develop a friendly attitude toward us because I
know that they are a people who can be made free and converted to our Holy
Faith more by love than by force. I therefore gave red caps to some and glass
beads to others. . . . And they took great pleasure in this and became so
friendly that it was a marvel. They traded and gave everything they had in good
will, but it seems to me that they have very little and are poor in everything.
I warned my men to take nothing from the people without giving something in
exchange."
Document 10
From Book 12 of "The Florentine Codex," a history of the Spanish
conquest of Mexico written by Friar Bernardino de Sahagún in collaboration with Aztec menwho were former students, late 16th
century:
"They gave [the Spaniards] emblems of gold, banners of quetzal plumes, and
golden necklaces. And when they gave them these, the Spaniards' faces grinned;
they were delighted, they were overjoyed. They snatched up the gold like
monkeys. . . . They were swollen with greed; . . . they hungered for that gold
like wild pigs. . . . They babbled in a barbarous language; everything they said
was in a savage tongue. . . ."

1, 1980. Shula Marks unveils abundant archaeological evidence, much of it
recently gathered, for the widespread settlement of South Africa before 1488
when Portuguese sailors first reached the Cape. The South African
government had "given" native Bantu-speaking peoples only 13% of the
land claiming "evidence" that at the time of initial white migration
large areas of land were empty. Migration as political, propaganda and
nationalistic.

David Christian, "Silk Roads or
Steppe Roads," used with permission for Bridging World History, Annenberg Foundation, 2004. The traditional view of the
Silk Roads was that it linked trade and migration of major regions of agrarian
civilizations in Afro-Eurasia and as originating in the Classical Era.
David Christian cites evidence as to the Silk Roads as trans-ecological
exchanges of the agrarian world to the pastoralist world of inner Eurasian
steppes and woodland cultures to the north. Plus, Christian postulated
that the Steppe/Silk Road exchanges were much older than the classical period,
actually reaching back to the 4th millennium BCE.

and Hilda Sanchez, "Migration in Latin America and the Caribbean: A
View From the ICFTU/ORIT." This point of
view on migration in Latin America and Caribbean from Human and Trade Union
Rights Programme. Their claim is that,
historically speaking, the migratory movements of the population of Latin
America and the Caribbean have been closely related to the
development of societies in these regions and, more specifically, to the
economic, social and political imbalances. See also 3 major migration patterns
in the region, information and research from 1980's through early 2002.

Willy Foote,
"Coffee and the Press of Migration,"Forbes, August 16,
2014. US media focuses on Latin American illegal immigration into the US
caused by political unrest and cocaine drug violence. Willie Foote
discusses an agricultural economic cause, that being, coffee leaf rust which
has cost 500, 000 coffee-related jobs and $1 billion dollars in lost revenue. Why the fungus
outbreak, which has occurred before? Warmer, wetter weather along with aging
coffee trees, under investment, and distressed soil. Environment push
factor in migration example.
