When, Why, and How Humans Move - From the Prehistoric Peopling of the Planet to Today and Tomorrow's Migrants
Today, freedom of movement is being curtailed, even as climate change and conflict mobilize people everywhere around the world. Goldin reminds us that passports at every border are a modern invention (he traces the "birth of big brother" to World War I), revealing the folly of trying to halt migration--and proposing commonsense policy instead. A gripping chronicle of want and wanderlust, this is a moving portrait of humanity--in every sense of the word. 320 pages pb
