Data, Dialects, and Migration Experiences

How has the first decade of global migration studies influenced the fields of American immigration history, ethnic studies, and the theories of human movement across the Atlantic and globally? These three books provide no real test of overall influence, but they suggest that resistance to the new paradigm as well as the development of new approaches to global migration have become readily apparent in scholarly endeavors. Raymond L. Cohn’s study contains an analysis of his acclaimed theory of a unique antebellum period of immigration to the United States and serves as a reference work for those “searching for numerical information” on Western European immigration to antebellum America (p. xiv). In a sense, it represents everything you wanted to know about the economic aspects of transatlantic immigration of Western Europeans to the United States prior to 1860 but, given the uncertainties of the data from antebellum passenger lists, were afraid to try to find out. Cohn argues that the period between 1820 and 1860 is unique in that it includes the first mass immigration of people who intended to stay permanently in their destination and thus to reshape its economy and society. Its primary character is delimited by the means of transport: the sailing ship, which took about forty days to make the trip between European ports and New York City. The time and money expended and the nature of the voyage made it unlikely that these five million immigrants would return to Europe or migrate again.
