Main theme:

Beginning around 1880, a new group of migrants reached the U.S—members of this group began their voyages in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and in Southern and Eastern Europe. Americans living in the south also began another migration, this one to northern cities. African Americans residing in the South were among the poorest Americans, and they enjoyed few of the protections of law and courts. For most European and African Americans, adult life consisted of mastering the problem of finding work. Those migrants, wherever their journeys began, lived their material, emotional, political, and social lives just as we do–by “raising” families, “getting” a living, buying and selling property, and migrating. Here’s an additional idea to consider: Migrants did not seek some “American Dream.” Instead, a way of life (wherever they resided) was coming to an end—and they departed in search of jobs and modest, secure lives for themselves and loved ones.

We want to study the people who departed Africa, Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean/and Pacific Islands, and the Indian subcontinent.  Remember that migration has also included the movement of people within the U.S. from one place to another—from farms to cities to suburbs, from south to north and maybe back south, and among African American, Latin peoples, and low-income whites a lengthy and hazardous trek toward an uncertain future.

As one way to start to think about migrants, ask yourself, where did your parents and grandparents (and those before them, if possible) live and work, and why did they relocate to the U.S. and to Florida? From time to time,  acquire pieces of information regarding my grandparents (mother’s side), who resided in Romania c. 1880—and they were in turn part of a migration from a small town to the U.S., Israel, and Australia c. 1900-1910). We have two daughters, both married—one husband’s family moved from Ireland to the US after World War II; and our other son-in-law’s family moved from Lithuania to South Africa (c. 1900) and then to the U.S. in the mid-1970s.
