How laws, passports, and policies shaped who could move—and where they could go.
Governing Movement surveys the way government rules directed emigration and immigration across Europe and North America. It draws on historical laws and official practices to show how movement was regulated, who faced barriers, and how people navigated a maze of permits, borders, and institutions.
From Russia’s May Laws to the controls over passports in Sweden, Norway, and the United States, the book links policy to real outcomes. You’ll see how military service, official surveillance, and bureaucratic hurdles pushed many emigrants to seek new lives abroad, often through complex routes that included England and the Atlantic passage."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
