In the age of climate change, the possibility that dramatic
environmental transformations might cause the dislocation of
millions of people has become not only a matter for scientific

strategic planning and military analysis.

Environmental History of Modern Migrations offers a
worldwide perspective on the history of migrations throughout
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and
provides an opportunity to reflect on the global ecological
transformations and developments which have occurred throughout
the last few centuries. With a primary focus on the
environment/migration nexus, this book advocates that global
environmental changes are not distinct from global social
transformations. Instead, it offers a progressive method of
combining environmental and social history, which manages to both
encompass and transcend current approaches to environmental
justice issues.
