Reviews
Reading this book is rewarding in many ways. It raises the awareness that migration is an intrinsic feature of human existence, indicative of as well as instrumental to development. The confrontation with 200,000 years’ development of the ‘homo sapiens’ puts the present perception of ‘globalisation’ into a perspective, which opens up a considerably wider scope for the future. The confrontation of the diverse approaches not only widens our horizon but serves, at the same time, as an antidote against prejudices based on incidental single aspects."

Gelungen ist [es] den Herausgebern mit der Fokussierung auf die historischen Migrationsprozesse in Ozeanien, Afrika und den Amerikas der letzten 100.000 Jahre. Nachhaltig zeigen die Beiträge des Sammelbandes, dass Migration eher das "außergewöhnliche Normale" als die aktuelle Ausnahme darstellt; oder, wie es die Herausgeber formulieren würden: World History ist Migration History
