Moya and McKeown examine the concept of mass migration as it developed as a new socioeconomic phenomenon in the nineteenth century, and its impact on world culture throughout the twentieth century.
Jose Moya is professor emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles, and professor of history at Barnard College, Columbia University, where he also directs the Forum on Migration. His book Cousins and Strangers: Spanish Immigrants in Buenos Aires, 1850-1930 (1998) received five awards, and the journal Historical Methods devoted a forum to its theoretical contributions to migration studies.
