Krátky popis
We are all descended from migrants. Humans are, in in fundamental
ways, a migratory species, more so than any other land mammal.
Migration is one of the most toxically controversial subjects of
our day, but it is not only an issue of our age.Migrants are
expected to assimilate and encouraged to remain distinctive, to
defend their heritage and adopt a new one. They are sub-human and
super-human, romanticised and castigated, admired and abhorred.
Migration tells us that this is not a new narrative, this is the
history of migration, which is part of everybody's backstory - for
those who consider themselves migrants and those who do not.For
most of our existence as a species, we were all nomads, and some of
us still are.Houses and permanent settlements are a relatively late
development - dating back little more than ten thousand years.
Borders and passports are much more recent. From Neanderthals, to
the Ancient Greeks, to the African slave trade, to modern migrants,
Migration shows us that it is only by understanding how migration
and migrants have been viewed in the past, that we can re-set the
terms of the modern-day debate about migration.
