Connecting Seas and Connected Ocean Rims - Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans and China Seas Migrations from the 1830s to the 1930s

With a series of rich case studies focused on mobile laborers, this book demonstrates how the regional migrations of the early modern era came to be connected, contributing to the creation of an increasingly integrated nineteenth-century world.
