1850 年至 1914 年间，约有 5500 万欧洲人移民到新大陆，登陆北美、南美以及澳大利亚。蒂莫西·哈顿 (Timothy J. Hatton) 和杰弗里·G. 威廉姆森 (Jeffrey G. Williamson) 生动详细地描述了这场标志着全球人口和经济活动发生深刻而持久的转变的运动，并对与这一伟大迁移相关的原因和影响进行了深入分析。 《大规模移民时代》对现代世界经济史上的一个重要发展时期进行了彻底的探讨，此外，对今天仍然困扰我们的某些经济问题进行了客观的思考：为什么一个国家的移民率通常会随着早期工业化而上升？移民如何选择目的地？国际劳动力市场是否分割？移民真的“抢”了当地人的工作吗？移民对东道国的工资水平和生活水平有何影响？在解决这些问题以及许多其他问题时，本书对大规模移民采取了新的、全面的观点。尽管在方法上有些争议——它为一种社会现象赋予了经济解释和阐释——《大规模移民时代》对所有研究移民的学生（无论是历史的还是当代的）以及任何对国际经济活动感兴趣的人来说都是有用的。
About 55 million Europeans migrated to the New World between 1850 and 1914, landing in North and South America and in Australia. This movement, which marked a profound and permanent shift in global population and economic activity, is described in vivid detail by Timothy J. Hatton and Jeffrey G. Williamson, and the causes and effects relative to this great relocation are soundly analysed. The Age of Mass Migration offers a thorough treatment of a period of vital development in the economic history of the modern world and, moreover, devotes much objective consideration to certain economic questions that still baffle us today: Why does a nation's emigration rate typically rise with early industrialization? How do immigrants choose their destinations? Are international labour markets segmented? Do immigrants truly "rob" jobs from locals? What impact do immigrants have on wage rates and living standards in the host country? In addressing these issues, and many of others, this book takes a new and comprehensive view of mass migration. Although somewhat controversial in terms of method--it assigns to a social phenomenon an economic explanation and interpretation-- The Age of Mass Migration will be useful to all students of migration, historical or contemporary, and to anyone interested in international economic activities.
