Cultures in Contact: World Migrations in the Second Millennium (Comparative and International Working-Class History) by Dirk Hoerder
This is a massive study of migration on a world scale. It covers the past thousand years, looking at different societies, different cultures, and different regions of the world. It considers voluntary migrations, slavery, and the impact of modern technologies such as steam and flight.
Deutschland ist über Jahrhunderte hinweg eine Kulturregion mit vielfältigen Wanderungsbewegungen gewesen. Männer und Frauen deutscher Dialekte und zahlreicher regionaler Kulturen sind aus ihrer jeweiligen Heimat ausgewandert, um neue Lebensperspektiven zu finden, Menschen anderer Kulturen – Juden, Hugenotten, Türken u.v.a.m. – sind umgekehrt in Deutschland eingewandert. Dirk Hoerder bietet einen chronologischen Überblick über die Auswanderungen aus und Einwanderungen nach show more Deutschland über die Jahrhunderte, zeigt die unterschiedlichen Motive, die Auswahl der Ziele, die quantitativen Ausmaße und die kulturellen wie wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen. In einem abschließenden Resumé stellt er die Ähnlichkeiten der deutschen Migration mit denen anderer Gesellschaften den Spezifika der Migration im deutschsprachigen Raum gegenüber.
