How laws, passports, and policies shaped who could move—and where they could go.
Governing Movement surveys the way government rules directed emigration and immigration across Europe and North America. It draws on historical laws and official practices to show how movement was regulated, who faced barriers, and how people navigated a maze of permits, borders, and institutions.
From Russia’s May Laws to the controls over passports in Sweden, Norway, and the United States, the book links policy to real outcomes. You’ll see how military service, official surveillance, and bureaucratic hurdles pushed many emigrants to seek new lives abroad, often through complex routes that included England and the Atlantic passage."Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
Excerpt from The Problem of the Immigrant: A Brief Discussion, With a Summary of Conditions, Laws, and Regulations Governing the Movement of Population to and From the British Empire, United Stated, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Denmar
Out of the remote and little-known regions of Northern, Eastern, and Southern Europe, for ever marches a vast and endless army. Nondescript and ever-changing in personnel, without leaders or organization, this great force, moving at the rate of nearly each year, is invading the civilized world.
Like a mighty stream, it finds its source in a hundred rivulets. The huts of the mountains and the hovels of the plains are the springs which feed the fecundity of the races of the old world the inexhaustible source. It is a march the like of which the world has never seen, and the moving columns are animated by but one idea that of escaping from evils which have made existence intolerable, and of reaching the free air of countries where conditions are better shaped to the welfare of the masses of the people.
It is a vast procession of varied humanity. In tongue it is polyglot; in dress, all climes from pole to equator are indicated, and all religions and beliefs enlist their followers. There is no age limit, for young and old travel side by side. There is no sex limitation.

During a year spent in studying emigration and immigration conditions in thirteen countries of Europe, it became necessary to familiarize myself with the situation in each country, so far as was practicable. It was found most difficult to get together the data required. Many different languages were involved, and the laws and regulations in some of the countries were contained in widely scattered statutes, Government decrees, and police regulations. In many instances it was only through the courtesy and disinterested kindness of Government officials, Ambassadors, attaches of Embassies, and consular representatives, that it was made possible to secure an intelligent idea of the situation. To these gentlemen, and to others who were most kind, I wish to express my appreciation and obligation. Believing that some of the data would be of value to the many now interested in these topics, and, indeed, even necessary for an understanding of the international situation, and knowing of no work containing the same, I have ventured to gather in book form some of the material secured, which I hope will prove useful to those who are called upon to legislate, discuss, or write upon the subject.
